We would like to invite you to join a networking initiative started by myself and my colleague dr. Catalina Goanta. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Public Law at Leiden Law School and as of October 1st, I will be a Chair of European and Comparative Public at Groningen Law School. Catalina is an Assistant Professor of Private Law at Maastricht Law School. We are sending you this email because we believe you can help us crowdsource a list of scholars who work in law and technology in Europe, and in doing so, benefit from the mapping exercise yourself. 

The primary goal of our initiative is to strengthen the European law & tech community by establishing a network of European scholars. This first step is to make a mailing list which can be used for sharing events, new scholarship, job postings, and develop cooperation initiatives. We are currently developing a website and a mailing list, but first we would like to know who is in the field and what their interests are. 

If you are interested in this initiative, you can help us by completing the following sheet with your name, research interests, and/or filling in “yes” in the last column: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ylOjyw69lXS8XIAHGM0O5iiRvRGOrulBddaxpFbbAfo/edit?usp=sharing. You can also join by replying to this email, we will then include your name. The link is not totally online, it is only available to those that have received it.  This Google document will soon be offline as soon as our website goes online.

We apologize if you have received this email earlier this week. We just want to make sure everyone has agreed to being included in the list. We cannot include you in the list without your explicit authorization.Thanks for taking your time to complete the sheet. Feel free to forward this email to your network and provide us with any suggestions.

Best wishes,

Sofia Ranchordas and Catalina Goanta
