TILTing Perspectives 2011

September 24, 2010

TILTing Perspectives is a series of bi-annual international conferences, organized by the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology and Society (TILT) at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. TILT is an institute conducting research into the legal and social implications of various emerging (fields of) technologies, ranging from information and communication technologies, to bio- and nanotechnologies, to neurotechnologies and robotics.

The next conference of this series will be titled TILTing Perspectives 2011: Technologies on the stand: Legal and ethical questions in neuroscience and robotics. This conference focuses on the legal and ethical questions raised by the application of neuroscience and robotics in a number of contexts. Examples of topics include the use of neurotechnologies in the legal arena, in therapy, and for human enhancement, and the advent of robot technologies in home and hospital environments, but also in war. The two-day conference aims to facilitate discussion between lawyers, legal scholars, psychologists, social scientists, philosophers, neuroscientists and policy makers.
