Several CEU SJD LEGS alumni (2019) recently participated in a conference titled ‘Living in the Cities of the Future and the Metaverse’ in Lisbon, Portugal, at the NOVA School of Law, Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Organized by the WhatNext.Law Knowledge Centre in collaboration with NOVA School of Law and law firm, Vieira de Almeida, the conference explored how living together in the 21st century requires communities and their legal and political institutions to channel and complement economic actors in designing the spaces where we will be spending our lives. The conference takes the city of the future and the Metaverse as its focal point as one of the main examples of the complex and interconnected social and legal issues that will increasingly define our lifestyle.
