Law, Science and Technology Joint Doctorate: Rights of the Internet of Everything

Introduction “Law, Science and Technology: Rights of the Internet of Everything” aims to anticipate the new technological trends of IoE and to spotlight some of its challenging aspects with an interdisciplinary international EU wide programme, composed of 15 interdisciplinary 3-year doctoral research projects connected in a unique vision where different competences from different disciplines interact synergically and are combined in a holistic way. The projects are designed to enhance collaboration and interaction across these disciplines, to integrate non-academic partner organizations, and to develop interdisciplinary methodologies for building, studying and regulating IoE. It intends to create a generation of young researchers trained in the above topics. They end up with the knowledge and entrepreneurial capacity to create innovative companies or work in research, industry or public administration. This is possible only if IoE technologies are viewed through the lens of the law, ethics, human rights, and in turn, that social humanist disciplines acquire genuine understanding of the relevant technological principles, languages, and methodologies. Otherwise, the risk is advancement in the state of the art in technology that is not matched by social needs causing discrimination, vulnerability, inequality, economic unbalancing in the “digital society”. Main Objectives The mission of RIoE is to define an international joint doctorate educational training model in Law, Science and Technology where Academia and Industry join forces to: • create a common platform of knowledge and language for early stage researchers (ESR) working in Law, Science and Technology and specializing in IoE; • establish structures for long-term cooperation, strengthening relationships among the leading universities, research institutes and enterprises and to continuously develop the research training platform that European industries rely on; • avoiding the gap in Europe with respect to programs in USA/CN. Specific impacts on the research community of RIoE • to train 15 ESRs in a joint academic/industrial programme with a common training plan, cutting-edge training-by-research, high quality supervision, complementary and transferable skills training, etc.; • to pursue an innovative research project that tackles a timely and important scientific problem with an interdisciplinary approach (Computer Science, Law and Ethics); • to transfer expertise/know-how among the partners of the Consortium and with external groups via industrial internships, networking activities, intersectorial exposure, secondments, workshops, sharing of learning material, public engagement and outreach activities. Doctorate projects are jointly supervised within a joint governance structure in which the beneficiaries as well as the partner organisations are actively involved. The doctorate programme exposes ESRs to different sectors and they acquire a comprehensive set of transferable skills.
