Law, automation and smart grids

The FRII project is a multi-disciplinary research project established to create a dialogue between legal researchers, legal practitioners and industry actors. At this seminar, we will be discussing the results of the third phase of our research. This phase has been focused on IP, data protection and competition law issues related to the energy sector, with a particular focus on smart grids and automation. This seminar is open to everyone, from industry experts to lawyers, practitioners to students—we warmly invite you to come and participate in the debate.
