The international workshop "Driving Sustainable Transition Through Digitalization: A Pathway to Future Success" is happening today at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, within the Faculteit Recht en Criminologie.
This workshop, organized by the Digitalisation and Access to Justice (DIKE) Research Group, part of the Department of Private and Economic Law VUB (PREC), in collaboration with the University of Camerino (UNICAM), promises to be a pivotal exploration of how digitalization can drive sustainable development.
