Our Partners.
LAW, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY - VUB
The Interdisciplinary Research Group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) was created in 2003 as an independent entity within the Faculty of Law & Criminology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). With more than 30 researchers at all levels of experience, LSTS has become a prominent European research institute in the area of technology regulation.
LSTS’s core expertise is legal, but it also has a strong track record in legal theory, philosophy (philosophy of law, of sciences, of technology; bio-ethics) and engages in criminological (surveillance and security), science and society studies (STS) and international relations research too. In the broadest wordings, LSTS’s main challenge is to (re)think, from such a multifaceted viewpoint, the constitutive principles of democracy, the rule of law (including principles such as precaution, participation, accountability and responsibility) and the respect for fundamental rights in relation to contemporary scientific and technological developments that seem to confront individuals with irreversible decision-making processes with a major impact on their lives.
