IFELT Partnerships — Institutional, Academic and Strategic Collaborations in Law and Technology
Building the Alliances That
Advance Law and Technology.
IFELT's work is strengthened by its partnerships with universities, research institutions, international organisations, courts, and civil society. We welcome collaborations that advance the legal frameworks governing emerging technology — across research, education, policy, and practice.

How We Collaborate
IFELT was established in 2026 and is actively building its partnership network. The Forum is currently in discussions with a range of universities, research centres, international organisations, and civil society bodies across the MENA region, Europe, and beyond.
Partnerships take a range of forms — from joint research programmes and co-organised events to capacity-building collaborations and policy advisory work. All partnerships are grounded in IFELT's principles of independence, rigour, and open access.
Joint Research Programmes
Co-authored research papers, legal analyses, and Observatory monitoring reports — developed with partner institutions and published through IFELT's open-access platform.
Conference & Event Partnerships
Co-organised conferences, webinars, and workshops — bringing together partner institutions' networks and IFELT's global expert community for joint programming.
Capacity Building & Training
Joint capacity-building programmes for judges, prosecutors, policymakers, and legal practitioners — combining IFELT's expert network with partners' institutional reach.
Policy & Advisory Collaboration
Collaborative policy submissions, expert opinions, and advisory work — contributing to national and international legal frameworks governing emerging technology.
Founding Partnership Opportunities
As a newly established forum, IFELT is offering founding partnership status to a select group of institutions — with enhanced visibility, co-branding, and a role in shaping IFELT's early programmes. Founding partnerships are available on a limited basis.
