On 22 and 23 February 2027, the Chair for Law and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tübingen will host an authors' workshop on regulatory sandboxes in the historic setting of Tübingen Castle. The event will provide an opportunity for contributors to present their chapters for the forthcoming volume The Cambridge Handbook of Regulatory Sandboxes in EU Law, edited by Michèle Finck (University of Tübingen) and Kai Purnhagen (University of Bayreuth), and to exchange views with fellow authors and other participants. 

The program will explore a broad range of topics, from the conceptual and constitutional foundations of regulatory sandboxes to their place within the EU regulatory architecture and the internal market. It will also examine questions of liability, risk regulation, competition law, state aid and intellectual property, as well as their use across sectors such as financial services, artificial intelligence, health, food and energy. A final session will place regulatory sandboxes in comparative and global perspective. 

Forthcoming with Cambridge University Press in 2027, the volume offers the first systematic legal analysis of regulatory sandboxes in EU law. It brings together contributions from the fields of EU constitutional, administrative, private, competition, financial, digital, engery, health, food and intellectual property law, as well as comparative perspectives. Collectively, these contributions examine how regulatory sandboxes, as an instrument of experimental governance, are reshaping EU regulatory practice.
