Become a partner
We are constantly seeking strategic partners committed to rigorous research, responsible innovation, and public impact. We work with various collaboration models, always preserving methodological integrity, institutional transparency, and the intellectual independence of our research.
Research Partnership
Join us in innovative research projects at the intersection of law and technology. Co-author articles, share datasets and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries.
Institutional partnership
Collaborate with leading legal technology companies to reduce the gap between academic research and practical implementation.
Consortium
Join our network of academic institutions working together to promote teaching and research in legal technology.
Our Partners
How we work
Rigor, autonomy e public impact.
We bridge the gap between dedicated funders and independent researchers through an interdisciplinary structure, employing rigorous methods and procedures that meet the highest academic standards.
Intellectual Autonomy and Thematic coherence
We carefully select the topics we research, always in line with the Institute's values and institutional mission.
Partners and funders may contribute to the definition of the research problem, but they do not interfere with technical conclusions—except in cases of strictly confidential studies contracted for internal use.
Thesis Banks and Projects
Our work is built on thesis and project databases that define the themes and questions driving our research.
These databases function as long-term pillars, allowing researchers and partners to work toward common goals and consistent methodologies.
Partnerships and Financiers
We seek partners and funders who share our principles and view research as a tool for social and institutional transformation.
Each partnership is built on thematic affinity, methodological clarity, and mutual commitments to transparency.
Research as Public Good
We view research as a vital instrument for elevating public discourse, strengthening institutional frameworks, and informing the development of more effective policies and practices.
We strive to ensure that our results—reports, legal opinions, events, and publications—are technically rigorous while remaining accessible to diverse audiences.
Independence and Public trust
We maintain total independence in defining agendas, conducting studies, and disseminating results.
Public trust is an essential asset, built through responsibility and clarity.
Therefore, partners do not interfere with research content, conclusions, or publication.
Collaboration and Interdisciplinarity
Our work is collaborative and interdisciplinary.
We bring together professionals from law, computer science, economics, philosophy, communication, and social sciences.
This diversity allows us to understand innovation as a complex social phenomenon and to formulate more informed legal and policy responses.

Executive Education Program
Executive training and specialized skills development programs aimed at legal professionals, business leaders, and public policy makers, designed to address the most current challenges of digital transformation.
Our courses and training programs address, with technical rigor and an applied perspective, topics such as artificial intelligence, data protection, platform regulation, algorithmic governance, digital compliance, and regulatory innovation, always seeking to translate complex debates into useful tools for decision-making, institutional design, and practical implementation.
Applied Research and Analysis
Interdisciplinary research projects on cutting-edge topics.
Research methods:
- Thematic Agenda: funding for topics previously defined by the Institute such as Artificial Intelligence, Regulation of Digital Platforms, Sustainability, etc.
- Sponsored Studies: research developed with external financial support, but conducted under the methodological control of the Institute.
- Commissioned Studies (internal): projects contracted to meet specific internal needs.
