CCF Computational Law Symposium and Third Annual Conference
“CCF Computational Law Symposium and Third Annual Conference”, hosted by China Computer Federation (CCF), will be held on 25-26 October 2024 in Weihai, Shandong Province. With the theme of "Computational Law and the Modernisation of China's Governance", the conference aims to promote academic exchanges and industries-universities-research cooperation in the field of computational legal studies, as well as to present the latest research results and cutting-edge research progress in this field. We welcome experts, scholars and researchers at home and abroad to contribute to the conference.
Computational law is a new discipline at the cross-point of legal and computer science. In the past two years, CCF Computational Law Section has held its annual conference in Sichuan University and Tsinghua University, attracted hundreds of contributions from domestic and foreign experts and young scholars, and organized dozens of keynote speeches and presentations, which has formed a strong academic influence and brand effect.
This year's annual conference will be held at Shandong University. The conference is hosted by CCF, organised by CCF CL, Shandong University Weihai Campus, Shandong University Data Science Institute, Shandong University School of Law (Weihai), Shandong Research Centre for Systemic and Computational Law Studies山东系统与计算法学研究中心,下同, and co-organised by editorial departments of Law Forum, Journal of Shandong University (Philosophy and Social Science), Asian Journal of Law and Society, SJTU Law Review, Chinese Empirical Legal Research中国法律实证研究，下同, Cyber Security and Data Governance, Social Science in Guangdong, Huxiang Law Review.
The conference will invite top experts and scholars in the fields of legal and computer and related industry applications to make invited reports, and open sub-forums according to the topics for scholars at home and abroad to have academic exchanges and discussions. The conference sincerely invites experts and scholars in related fields to actively contribute to the conference.
