Net.Law.S
Against the backdrop of a digital, networked world, a multitude of legal issues are emerging today and will continue to do so in the future, which the Net.Law.S - Conference for Law, Society and Industry in the Digital World - will address. In particular, the conference addresses changes in production processes in the Internet of Things, the associated legal issues with regard to Industry 4.0, e-health and smart mobility as well as the related social and ethical issues. The format is therefore aimed at law firms providing advice and specialising in the segments of Net.Law.S, specialist lawyers and in-house lawyers for intellectual property law, employment law, contract law, antitrust law, transport law and medical law. In addition, Net.Law.S offers specialist input for data protection experts, representatives of employers' and employees' associations, politicians, religious representatives and academics, manufacturing companies and anyone who deals professionally with legal aspects and issues of the kind described. The event took place for the second time on 19 and 20 February 2018 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg and was actively co-organised by the RobotRecht research centre.

Net.Law.S 2018 - Topics, questions, challenges and discussions on digitalisation and law in the fields of smart mobility, Industry 4.0 and e-health
In its second edition, Net.Law.S once again demonstrated why legal support for the digitalisation of our society is so urgently needed. In addition to highly interesting insights into specialist legal practice, this was also and above all due to the contributions of experts from the technology faction and the business community. The keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Dr. Udo di Fabio (former judge at the German Federal Constitutional Court) already had the effect of opening up the jurisprudential focus to an overall societal perspective: According to di Fabio, the law has the task of providing a socially acceptable framework for the advancing technologisation of our society, but should neither be positioned as a brake on innovation nor shy away from new challenges. In his summary, Prof. Dr Dr Eric Hilgendorf (Head of the Robot Law Research Centre) also called for a close alliance between theory and practice. Against this backdrop, Net.Law.S 2018 was once again a complete success for the 160 participants from all disciplines.
With the subdivision into the Industry 4.0, E-Health and Smart Mobility panels, Net.Law.S 2018 consistently followed its focus on these three core topics. A highlight from the research centre's point of view in this context was the presentation by former employee Berthold Haustein (Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH) entitled "Connected driving: Who owns the data?". However, the panel discussion with the participation of Prof Hilgendorf was also one of the particularly strong moments of this year's Net.Law.S.
