TILTing Perspectives 2017: 'Regulating a connected world'

TILTing Pespectives 2017 brings together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and civil society at the intersection of law and regulation, technology, and society to share insights, exchange ideas and formulate, discuss and suggest answers to contemporary challenges related to technological innovation.

From 17 - 19 May 2017 TILT is organizing the bi-annual Conference TILTing Perspectives 2017: 'Regulating a connected world'. Technology is transforming society on many fronts. In recent years, we have seen the rise of social media and the sharing economy, a sustained move from atoms to bits, and the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, smart devices, and robotics. Along with these developments we see a continuous stream of new legal and regulatory issues. For every problem solved, two new problems seem to surface.

These developments and transformations give good reason to adopt 'Regulating a connected world' as the theme for the 5th Bi-annual TILTing Perspectives conference on the intersection of law, technology, and society. While recent TILTing conferences had a specific focus, ‘robotics and neurotechnologies’ in 2011, ‘health and surveillance’ in 2015, the 2017 conference will open the floor to an entire spectrum of topics and disciplines under the broad umbrella of law, technology and society.

TILTing 2017 brings together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and civil society at the intersection of law and regulation, technology, and society to share insights, exchange ideas and formulate, discuss and suggest answers to contemporary challenges related to technological innovation. The conference will include plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and panel discussions with invited speakers, as well as presentations from respondents to this call for papers.

The conference features five large tracks: Privacy, Health, Intellectual property, Data Science, and PLSC Europe.
