QMUL Cloud Legal Project
The Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) at Queen Mary, University of London, embarked in October 2009 on a three year project to undertake academic research in relation to cloud computing and to disseminate the key findings of that research.
CCLS has extensive relevant expertise and experience and has a leading reputation in all aspects of computer and communications law and regulation. The QMUL Cloud Legal Project was initiated with generous financial support from Microsoft Corporation.
