The Centre for Law, Technology and Society is delighted to announce that Matt Malone andYuan Stevens have been awarded the 2022 CLTS Impact Awards.
The Centre for Law, Technology and Society, Canada's leading research hub for technology law, ethics and policy, launched the Impact Awards to encourage emerging researchers and build capacity and leadership for evidence-based advocacy and engagement in technology law, ethics and policy issues.
The CLTS Impact Awards are designed to recognize outstanding emerging researchers (students and research personnel) who are engaged thought leaders, and to celebrate the impact they have had on technology law, ethics and policy through their research achievements, knowledge mobilization, and outreach activities in Canada or on the global stage.
The 2022 recipients are:
- Matt Malone, PhD candidate in the Faculty of Law, for his thought leadership on trade secrets and information law matters.
- Yuan Stevens, Articling Candidate for the Law Society of Ontario at the Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy & Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC), and a Research Fellow with the University Research Chair in Technology and Society for her thought leadership on cybersecurity and digital rights.
The Selection Committee considered a wide range of achievements (e.g. scholarly literature, explanatory journalism, reports, professional practice, public discourse, public policies, tools and products) to evaluate each nominee’s impact on policy and society. Nominees had to be emerging researchers who were affiliated with the CLTS during the 2021-2022 Academic Year.
Thanks to the generosity of anonymous donors to the Centre for Law, Technology and Society, each CLTS Impact Award comes with a monetary prize of CA$1,000.
