The conference in short
We are living through turbulent times that strain individuals and communities; yet, the current crisis related to the coronavirus pandemic has also proved thought-provoking for policymakers and regulatory scholars. The responses to COVID-19 have sparked lively discussions on the relationship between public health and private and/or government interventions.
But concerns on how societies approach regulation and how our rights and freedoms are affected by crises are not new. Consider, for example, the climate and humanitarian crises together with other major global challenges: all of them call for new ways of thinking about regulation and, potentially, about new ways of acting as academics or citizens. The COVID-19 is thus also an impetus to reflect upon how we regulate crises and how crisis situations impact regulation.
These challenging times have led us to adopt ‘Regulating in Times of Crisis’ as the overarching theme for the seventh bi-annual TILTing Perspectives on the intersection of law, technology, and society.
TILTing Perspectives 2021 will feature six different tracks:
-
Energy and climate crisis
This track focuses on how technology may contribute to the resolution of both crises,and how regulatory frameworks can facilitate the deployment of such technologies.

Competition and Market Regulation
This track invites participants to rethink the role of competition and market regulation against the background of the various transformations in our economy and society.

Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence
In this track, we want to explore how the use of AI for state and private surveillance purposes challenges human rights, including non-discrimination, privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of association.

Intellectual property (IP) Law
We explore how current crises, both external and internal to the system, are challenging and shaping IP law and seek innovative solutions to re-model the IP law framework to meet the needs of the future.

Data Governance
This track explores the implications of this evolving trans-sectoral and transnational regulatory landscape, how data protection and other forms of governance are developing to meet these challenges, and what new actors or approaches are needed.
