Past editions of the conference have been based on themes ranging from ‘Bio-technology and the law’ to ‘Free and Open Source Software’ and have had speakers ranging from Dr. Montel Singh Ahluwalia (Deputy Chairman Planning Commission) to Rahul Mathan, a founding partner of Trilegal and one of India’s foremost authorities on tech law.
The topic of discussion this year is ‘Internet Intermediary Liability in India‘ – a topic which has been debated in great detail on this blog in the recent past.
The Committee has put out the following request for abstracts in order to choose papers that will eventually be presented at the conference:
The abstracts must be roughly 500 words and should clearly identify the issue they are dealing with, and the argument that they seek to put forward and should strictly conform to the guidelines below. The abstracts must be footnoted and the conference follows a very strict policy on plagiarism and runs all submissions through plagiarism detection software. The last date for submission of abstracts is January 18th and selected abstracts will be notified on January 25th and the authors are required to submit a final paper by March 15th.
