Dr. Pablo Ruiz Osuna has published the monograph “The legal personality of intelligent automata” in the Aranzadi publishing house, the result of his doctoral thesis. The work deals with what is possibly the great invention of this century: intelligent automata. The research seeks to determine their legal nature (what are they?) and proposes a basic private legal regime for them, as new citizens and agents in legal-economic traffic.

The EHS official book has been released

The EHS official book has been released. European Housing Studies is a unique book of its kind. It is the result of the work undertaken by 31 multidisciplinary housing experts from 11 European countries over three years. Each contributor has provided expert and condensed information and commentary on a variety of topics in structured chapters that range from the theory of housing studies and the right to housing to the development, access and loss of housing. It also contains sections devoted to housing as a market, housing professionals, housing and technology and the interactions between housing, city, territory and environment.

The book has been designed to be used as both a stand-alone handbook for those interested in a single volume containing all the current key topics related to housing, and as a coursebook linked to the online European Housing Studies course (https://www.housingstudies.eu), which has been designed by the Housing+ consortium and co-funded by the European Union.
