Aline Klingenberg and Nicolle Zeegers awarded Comenius Senior Fellow grant for innovative curriculum on law and AI in simulation labs

Aline Klingenberg, professor at our faculty, and Nicolle Zeegers, senior lecturer and project leader, have been awarded a Comenius Senior Fellow grant. They receive this educational grant for their innovative project that prepares students for legal issues surrounding digital technology and artificial intelligence through simulation labs.
Simulation labs for future-oriented legal professionals
The project focuses on establishing simulation labs within the Dutch Bachelor’s programme in Law. In these labs, students work on realistic cases, such as the use of drones in healthcare, sensors in public spaces, or autonomous vehicles. By adopting different roles, for example, as legal representatives of patients, policymakers, or technicians, students learn to analyze and argue legal dilemmas from various perspectives.
Interdisciplinary learning with practical expertise
The cases are developed in collaboration with experts from practice. Through video clips, these cases can be deployed on a large scale and repeatedly used for large groups of students.
The expected outcome is that students will gain better insight into their future professional field, become more motivated in their studies, and strengthen their critical thinking and communication skills regarding technological developments.
This project aligns seamlessly with one of the strategic priorities of the Faculty of Law: the integration of technology and AI in the law.
