The Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute is a multidisciplinary centre of excellence for Digital Economy research centred at the University of Nottingham. 

Horizon explores how challenges, such as trust regarding the use of personal data, can be addressed in the development of new technologies and products that blend physical and digital elements, for example: community casting of virtual music festivals, personalised digital mental health interventions, and data-driven consumer goods. 

Dr Lachlan Urquhart, Lecturer in Technology Law at Edinburgh Law School, is a founding academic partner of the Horizon Institute, along with colleagues at Glasgow, Cambridge, East Anglia, Newcastle and De Montfort. As part of a £4.1 million grant from UKRI’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Digital Economy Theme, he will work closely with Horizon’s Cross-Cutting Programme to provide new cross-sectorial insights that can be applied to emerging issues more widely across the Digital Economy. 

Building on his previous Horizon projects, including Defence Against the Dark Artefacts, Cardographer, Memory Machine and Moral-IT cards, Dr Urquhart will undertake new projects and activities that focus on legal and design aspects of building trustworthy data driven products.
