Join us to celebrate the inauguration of the newly launched Innovation Law and Technology Program. The Program will serve as the home for interdisciplinary research on law and technology at the University of Illinois, with research groups dedicated to intellectual property and the biosciences; law, formal methods, and computer science; and health law and artificial intelligence, among other areas. This inaugural event will feature brief talks from research group heads and affiliated faculty and serve as a meetup for everyone across campus interested in expanding their research to issues pertaining to law, innovation, and policy.
This event is free and open to the public. The event will be followed by a reception in the Peer and Sarah Pedersen Pavilion.
