Technology Research Group
The Technology Research Group (TRG) is an interdisciplinary research cluster examining the impact of technology on society from legal and criminological perspectives.
The group brings together local and international experts to collaborate, share their research and engage in knowledge transfer activities in local, national and international fora. We also contribute to government consultations and policy development.
We aim to provide a supportive environment for colleagues, at all stages in their career, to discuss and develop innovative research ideas and outputs.
Convenors: David Poyton (dvp@aber.ac.uk); Rosemary Toll (rot34@abere.ac.uk) and Megan Talbot (met32@aber.ac.uk).
