The Technoscience, Law & Society Network, a collaboration between Kent Law School and Edinburgh Medical School, involves a range of academic disciplines with research interests in the relationship between knowledge, technology and law. The Network has organised a series of five innovative events over the last two years with the aim of deepening and sustaining emerging interdisciplinary conversations about science, technologies and law.
