Responsible contracting on technology transfers KU Leuven

It is apparant that citizens are increasingly turning towards courts when they feel that their government is failing in its policies and duties. We see this, for example, in particular in so-called 'climate cases', which are sprouting up all over the world and so too in Belgium.
