With great pleasure we announce the kick-off of the new Convergence Center for Law, Design & AI! Join us September 19th (10:30 – 16:00) at Mondai | House of AI for the launch.

The Convergence Center for Law, Design & Artificial Intelligence is an initiative by Erasmus School of Law and Delft University of Technology. Our mission is to explore areas where design methods and technology can be used to develop innovations in legal systems and processes.

We aim to do this by bringing subject matter experts from across disciplines to create ideas, strategies and solutions through collaborative, human-centered and participatory way.

By examining how AI can be harnessed to democratise legal expertise, practices, and discourse, our goal is to provide valuable insights into effective AI applications within legal design. Our center seeks to serve as a hub for thought leadership, research, and co-creation, where the future of law, design, and AI is shaped with a shared commitment to positive societal impact.
