On Wednesday 31 March 2021 at 4-5pm, there will be the online launch of the Scottish Law and Innovation Network (SCOTLIN), a research network funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh and bringing together academics, practitioners, industry, and civil society with expertise in law & innovation and a link to Scotland.

I will introduce the network and the keynote speech will be delivered by Professor Hector MacQueen on “Law and innovation in Scotland: some impressionistic thoughts“.
I am Associate Professor of Intellectual Property Law and Privacy Law at the University of Stirling, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, where I lead the Media Law and Information Technology Law courses. I am an expert in the legal issues of Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, and blockchain.
Holder of a PhD (Unipa), a postdoc (QMUL), and an HEA Fellowship, I have a strong publication and bidding record and my works on Intellectual Property, Data Protection, Information Technology Law, Consumer Protection, and Human Rights have been cited by the EU Court of Justice’s Advocate General, the House of Lords, the European Commission, and the Council of Europe.
Outside of the University of Stirling, I am Director of ‘Ital-IoT’ Centre of Multidisciplinary Research on the Internet of Things, Visiting Professor at the University of Macerata, Fellow of the Nexa Center for Internet and Society, Fellow of NINSO Northumbria Internet & Society Research Group, and I serve on the Executive Committee of the Society of Legal Scholars, the oldest and largest society of law academics in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Most of my publications can be downloaded for free on SSRN, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and LawArXiv.
