iLINC Best Practice Sharing Event

The third Best Practice Sharing Event of the iLINC Network took place on 18 and 19 May 2015 in Berlin. With the objective of establishing a European network of law incubators that bridge ICT Entrepreneurs and Start-ups with Law Students, iLINC was established as a project funded by the European Commission under Seventh Framework Programme.

iLINC has four Core Partners who are responsible for establishing the network: Queen Mary University of London, the Universities of Amsterdam and KU Leuven, and the Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research. The Brooklyn Law Incubator and Policy (BLIP) Clinic from Brooklyn Law School has been an invaluable source of inspiration as an Associate Partner and is helping to establish iLINC as part of global network of law incubators together with EshipLaw in the US. More information can be found on www.ilincnetwork.eu.
