The ALTeR Vision
ALTeR bridges law, business, and sustainable innovation to design inclusive, forward-thinking legal and policy frameworks, create bridges and “translations” between lawyers and technologists to protect our rights, and empower future leaders to drive responsible and sustainable technological growth.
Center Director, Professor Alexandra Andhov

“Technology shapes our future, but humanity must shape our technology.”
“While nations compete for digital supremacy, ALTeR recognises that true innovation must be anchored in human dignity and environmental sustainability. By bridging law, technology, and ethical governance, we strive through research, education, and continuous engagement to ensure that tomorrow’s breakthroughs serve not just economic growth but people and the planet.”
