He will also discuss his role as leader of research development in NEOLAiA, a major EU university alliance focused on fostering research collaboration across nine universities in nine EU countries.
Together, they will showcase their international and interdisciplinary collaborations spanning across Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Serbia, Seychelles, and Ukraine. The seminar will explore the critical importance of a global, interdisciplinary approach in tackling issues like ageing, AI, digitalisation, and Mis(sing) Information, while emphasizing the role of law in shaping responsible, forward-thinking solutions.
