The interdisciplinary Research Group on Law Science Technology & Society or LSTS was founded in November 2003 and is devoted to analytical, theoretical and prospective research into the relationships between law, science, technology and society.
LSTS is the successor of the former Centre for the Interaction Law & Technology (CIRT), which carried out research in the field of computer law (privacy and data protection, EDI, computer crime, intellectual property, ...), criminal investigation and police law, environmental law, the relationships between law and psychiatry, etc. Today, however, the objective has significantly changed and broadened. The monodisciplinary legal research has moved towards an explicit interdisciplinary undertaking. That is why, since its foundation, LSTS comprises some researchers of the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLWF) covering disciplines such as philosophy, philosophy of science, mathematics and logic. The research group combines legal expertise and research with prospective and speculative thinking. Our projects range from technical legal undertakings to philosophical investigations articulated upon legal issues.
