ReMeP 2019 – Legal Informatics Conference Vienna, Austria
Details/ Pre-Registration: https://www.remep.net/

The conference will connect researchers who wish to present their projects with practitioners and businesses looking for legal informatics solutions. Above all, there will be ample time to explore a number of interesting and promising research projects in depth. Researchers will benefit from honest and constructive feedback on their projects. And practitioners will have a chance to influence the further development of computer applications. They can also suggest improvements that make the solution even more valuable for their businesses.

ReMeP 2019 – Where Research Meets Practice!

Digitalisation is a buzzword in today’s environment. But an annual investment of about 1 billion euros in LegalTech applications alone shows that it is more than a hype. It is a promising area for both research and practice.

Legal informatics itself is not new. It has been around for over 60 years. However, the need to streamline and digitalise processes to remain competitive has increased over the past few years.

While there is promising research activity, researchers often lack access to prospective users and real-life data to take their projects to the next level. And businesses often look for ways to digitalise specific tasks without knowing the state of research. And without knowing that there might already be a solution under development which can be tweaked to perfectly fit their needs. This is where ReMeP 2019 comes in: ReMeP 2019 will bring the two worlds together for the benefit of both sides.
