In 2020, NLSIU identified five focus areas where it will develop new interdisciplinary research clusters. These focus areas are: Labour and Work; Climate Justice; State Design and Reform; Access to Justice & Legal System Reform and Law, Technology and Society. The Law, Technology and Society Cluster integrates the work of the faculty and researchers in law and public policy at NLSIU and other leading institutions in science, technology and management. Their work focuses on interdisciplinary research on regulatory strategies and legal frameworks responding to the Indian and developing country contexts. They will convene different voices and interests in law and regulatory changes and ensure that policy debates are informed by the concerns of communities, civil society groups, academic institutions and business entities. Finally, their work include building innovative products and platforms for the public good.

Why they are the right choice for others:

• An interdisciplinary and collaborative initiative that looks at how complex problems in society can be technology enabled
• Working on policy development and regulatory work for the Indian technology ecosystem keeping in mind civil society, and public interest advocacy groups
