A movement emerges to challenge the tightening of intellectual property law around the world. At the end of the twentieth century, intellectual property rights collided with everyday life. Expansive copyright laws and digital rights management technologies sought to shut down new forms of copying and remixing made possible by the Internet. International laws expanding patent rights threatened t…
This study discusses why the "fifth generation" of telecommunication systems, or 5G, is integral to digitalisation efforts, and how its roll-out will be one of the most critical building blocks of the European digital economy and society in the next decade. We examine the transformative properties of this technology and explore how we can ensure that Europe remains a relevant, competitive and s…
Popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have had a deep impact, not only on the societies and political structures in the respective countries there, but also on different academic disciplines. The events that started in 2010 in Tunisia have altered academic terminology, contributed to a shift in study focus and sometimes challenged dominant theoretical approaches. The book…
Research and application development activities in robotics are rapidly growing at Aalborg University (AAU). This is witnessed by high-impact publications and robotic systems such as Geminoid.DK, LittleHelper, AAUBot, iSocioBot, to name a few. We anticipate that robotics, and especially robotics concerned with collaborative interaction between humans and robots to achieve common goals, will b…
