Colombian lawyer, currently working as an Assitant Professor of Law at Groningen University. Lorena has received her Ph.D. in the program of Individual Person and Legal Protections at the Scuola Superiore Sant`Anna (Italy). Lorena is fascinated by the newest technologies and the way that they affect consumers and the market in general. She was previously an Assistant Professor of Private Law at Los Andes University in Bogotá (Colombia) where she taught commercial law (2019-2022), securities (2019-2022) and law and technology (2020-2022). As one the main projects, she develops the initiative named "The adoption of disruptive technologies (AI) in organizations through the creation and implementation of an ethical-legal toolkit". Throughout 2022, data and information collection was carried out by some AI projects that were being developed at the Universidad de los Andes in the CinfonIA group. Likewise, a book on disruptive technologies was coordinated and some pieces on AI in Colombia were written. In addition, she participated in the creation, design and implementation of the MOOC fAIr LAC on "How to make responsible use of artificial intelligence in the public sector". Also, she participated in the development of the MOOC on Introduction to Artificial Intelligence of the Universidad de los Andes with Coursera, which is part of the creation of the Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence (MaIA) within which the design and creation of the module on Ethics in AI is directed. Thus, with the information collected an information file was created with qualitative and quantitative data to identify the basic principles of the toolkit, which was published in its Beta version on GECTI's webpage.

NOTABLE AWARDS & POSITIONS

Prof. Merkouris has received a number of prestigious grants, awards & fellowships (in more detail see 'CV' section). More recently, in 2018 he received an ERC Starting Grant of 1.5 million EUR for a 5-year project, entitled The Rules of Interpretation of Customary International Law (TRICI-Law, website at: www.trici-law.com). The project aims to demonstrate that the unwritten rules of international law (customary international law) are subject to a process of interpretation that bears similarities to the one that we are accustomed to employing when we are dealing with written texts, and more specifically international treaties.  

In the context of this project, Prof. Merkouris in collaboration with Cambridge University Press, agreed in 2020 to create a Book Series entitled 'TRICI-Law',  of which Prof. Merkouris will be the General Editor. The books and Volumes planned to appear in this Series will be Gold Open Access in an effort to promote access to information to the general public in conformity with Dutch and EU policies and efforts towards increased Open Access in academia (see in more detail 'Projects' section).

In 2019, Prof. Merkouris was also selected to become a member of the Young Academy Groningen, and with  members of the 2019 Cohort he is involved in the SOCRATES (Scientists Offering CReating Answers To Enquiring Students) and In the LOOP projects (see in more detail 'Projects' section).
