Call for Papers and Panels

2023 Asian Law Schools Association (ALSA) Conference
Emerging Technologies, Social Change, and Legal Innovation

December 2-3, 2023

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) School of Law, Taiwan

We are delighted to announce that the Asian Law Schools Association (ALSA) in collaboration with the NYCU School of Law will be hosting an international conference on “Emerging Technologies, Social Change, and Legal Innovation” on 2-3 December 2023, at the Guangfu Campus in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The conference aims to explore the complex interplay between emerging technologies, social change, and legal innovation. In the past few decades, we have seen the rapid development and deployment of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, fintech, blockchain, and regenerative medicine, which have had a significant impact on society. As a result, laws and regulations have been struggling to keep up with the pace of technological innovation. This conference aims to explore the legal implications of these emerging technologies and examine the ways in which laws can be adapted to meet the challenges posed by technological advancements.

We invite scholars from various disciplines, including law, technology, management, policy, and science, technology, and society (STS), including young scholars and doctoral students, to submit abstracts for papers that explore the impact of emerging technologies on law, society, and governance. The conference will offer a platform for interdisciplinary discussions and an opportunity for participants to share their research, experiences, and ideas on this important topic.

The topics may include, but are not limited to:

Innovative technology and legal education
Social impact of generative AI and digital technology
Trustable AI
Cybersecurity
Algorithmic governance and digital citizenship
Neuroscience and law
Digital platform
Biomedical innovation
Digital labor and human rights
National security and technology regulation
Digital trade
Climate change and sustainable development
Smart cities and intelligent transportation systems
Technology and public health
Data sharing and governance
Aging society and technological response

An abstract for papers and panels between 200-500 words must be submitted by August 1st, 2023 via the dedicated web-form, available at here

Accepted abstracts and the conference schedule will be notified in September 2023.

Full papers should be submitted with no word limit by November 1st, 2023, along with presentation slides by November 15th, 2023.
