Three letters, three generations: generation X (65-80), generation Y (1981-95/96) and generation Z (1995/96-2010) collaborating to address challenges and opportunities created by the ecological and digital transition and transformation towards a sustainable development for future generations.
Learn from the X generation, act as Y generation and think like Z generation!

The Master of Science in Law, Digital Innovation and Sustainability equips experts in innovation – and in particular, students with a legal or managerial background – with the instruments necessary to interpret the current digital and ecological transitions in society and the economy, offering them a solid legal background with equally strong interdisciplinary, managerial and technical knowledge.
New managerial, business and financial paradigms need to be carved out in order to face the challenges posed by industry automation and climate change
Law is a fundamental tool to navigate the ever more complexity and uncertainty that business, social and institutional actors have to face
Mastering emerging technologies and disruptive business models, enabling cooperation between multiple stakeholders and designing new forms of sustainable and inclusive partnerships are the required skills.
The Next Generation EU funding scheme in addition to the pre-existing EU Research and Innovation Programs will significantly invest on this open and collaborative innovation approach
Scholarships for LDIS prospective students (funded by LabGov.City, Ratp-Dev, NTT Data, Technip, EY, Qualcomm, Fondazione Gasbarri - Alleanza Assicurazioni, Energy Earth Awards) are available. For more information about financial aid, please click here if you are a Luiss student. Otherwise, if you are an international student, please click here for more information.
Research & Innovation Studentships are also available for enrolled students to support R&I projects.
In the two years of the program, students who wish to become managers of innovation and sustainability are engaged in enquiry-based and inno-preneurial activities. They will put their acquired knowledge into practice by experimenting with concrete applications in different laboratories aimed at creating:
Students design in small teams, using collaborative tools, responsible research and innovation projects to submit proposals to the Horizon Europe R&I program.
The X-Labs support students to work on proof of concept with the partners and expose them to the ordinary work environment dynamics and social norms, retro-engineering the “training on the job" model into a “job on the training” approach. Students work in team with professional mentors to create mission-oriented innovations
Students analyze the origin of conflicts and understand how to manage them, developing their negotiation skills to "create value" (win-win negotiation)
Students become protagonists of the technological and ecological transition, graduating with a thesis on their own impact project or start-up developed with the support of mentors and experts.
The X-labs are capstone modules that will engage students in groups of 5 to 10 with real-world challenges. Public, private, social organizations and innovators need to handle increasing complexity, uncertainty and insecurity, which make digital and ecological transition more cumbersome to achieve than before.
The X-labs expose students to the ordinary work environment dynamics and social norms, retro-engineering the “training on the job” model into a “job on the training” approach:
innovative and experimental problem-based teaching methodology
facilitation and brokering role played by Luiss faculty members and partners’ professional mentors
students design and build a proof of concept and then pitch it to the X-Labs jury composed by partners’ top executives.
Students work as professionals from the first day in order to develop innovative solutions
Solution: Free Way - using sensors to improve the traffic situation in Rome
Solution: Youth Move - how technology can provide partially fare-free. public transportation
Solution: E2C - aiming to create the first University-led Energy Community Network.
Solution: EcoHub - it is an innovation hub composed by students always projected to innovative and sustainable solutions to the challenges of our societies.
Solution: Stop It - Share your doubts, Talk to experts, Overcome your fears Prevent, Inform others, Take care.
Solution: E.A.R.T.H.- Ecologically Acting to Reduce Toxic Hazard, nature-based solution for polluted areas.
During this third edition the involvement in the design of students and tutors from the Universities of Tilburg, Mannheim, Bergen, Sofia, Vienna and Toulouse, who participated in the experimentation conducted as part of the Engage University.Eu project, has continued to be implemented stimulating attention to European replicability and/or scalability in the design.
The X-Labs program contributes significantly and is oriented towards the realisation of the objectives and activities of the Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti in Rome (Rome Open Lab), of which Luiss is a main partner.
As in the previous year, the X-Labs will be part of the 360 startup track in cooperation with the Casa delle Tecnologie Emergenti. In addition, this year,the secondary school students will also be able to participate in the track through possible admission to the Grinn Lab.

The proposals emerging from the Spring 2023 X-Labs program will also have further room for improvement thanks to a dedicated space for them in the second edition of Common Home events organize by LabGov ETS, Assoholding and Regenerative Marketing Institute.
Further activities to develop the ideas, projects, and solutions elaborated by students within the Spring 2023 X-Labs program will take place during the Summer 2023.
The enquiry-based models
Engagement
Students develop skills to design cutting-edge innovations, addressing real-world challenges with LDIS partners.
Mission-orientation
Indeed, core courses and labs challenge students in working groups to prototype disruptive solutions for the digital and ecological transition.
Job on the training
Students work as professionals in innovation units integrated with partners to develop solutions as part of their courses/labs evaluation, internships and final project.
builds on problem-based learning models where students engage in self-directed work scenarios by giving them opportunity to focus on a significant challenge addressed to developing local solutions (Johnson, 2009)
Project-based learning (PBL) will lead to wide variation in the quality of project design and classroom implementation challenging problems or questions with a sustained inquiry (Buck Institute for Education 2015) as "we learn from reflecting on experience” (Dewey, 1933)
Deepening the relationship between science and society and reinforcing public confidence in science, the EU has been favouring an informed engagement of citizens and civil society on research and innovation matters by promoting science education, by making scientific knowledge more accessible, by developing responsible research and innovation agendas that meet citizens' and civil society's concerns and expectations
create a research and innovation friendly and open environment to stimulate students to simultaneously and sustainably start to tackle low economic growth, limited job creation and global challenges such as health, well-being, security, food, natural resources, climate and energy (European Commission, 2018). Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is a term used by the European Union's Framework Programmes to describe scientific research and technological development processes that take into account effects and potential impacts on the environment and society.

Building on the triple helix model of innovation, based on a relationship between university, industry, government and advanced the idea of a quintuple helix or pentahelix model of innovation for governance of the city as a commons (Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 2000; Carayannis & Campbell, 2010; Barth, 2011; Iaione, 2016)
