Professional development

The current legal framework is poorly equipped to tackle the challenges we are facing, now complex technologies like AI, robotics and blockchain mature.

To operate in the digital sphere, we need to understand the underlying technologies in legal context.

NEXT Institute develops interdisciplinary courses that bridge the grey zone between technology and law.

Next Institute is a tech community.

We love to hear from you!
