emerging scientific and technological developments. EU Financial Contribution: 1.497.966 EUR.

Duration: 27 Months.

PROJECT MAIN OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between different form of

regulation and technological developments, starting from the state of the art of existing legal provisions, and aiming to

adapt and create rules for emerging innovative technologies. 4 ) Ludwig Maximilians
