Persistent identifiers and research indexing

The Association is internationally identified through persistent organizational identifiers, in line with best practices for research metadata interoperability and traceability:

Mission, scope, and methodology

The Association fosters legal scholarship, scientific research, and academic dialogue on major contemporary legal issues, with a focus on interdisciplinary connections between law and anthropology, bioethics, philosophy, geopolitics, history, and technology.

Its methodological framework is based on a cross-disciplinary and multi-sector approach, consistent with Edgar Morin’s Complexity paradigm, adopted as an interpretive lens for analysing contemporary socio-legal phenomena.

Research activities, events, and training

AQM conducts research activities directly and indirectly, including the development, support, or facilitation of specific research projects. It organises conferences, seminars, scientific events, debates, and transdisciplinary workshops, fostering cooperation among researchers, research institutes, universities, and cultural organisations at national and international levels.

It also provides training and professional development opportunities for scholars and researchers at different career stages.

Scientific cooperation

Within this framework, the Association cooperates, as a supporting member, with the “Hugo Gernsback” Research Laboratory at the “Leonardo da Vinci” University (Torrevecchia Teatina, Italy).

Scholarly publishing and dissemination

As part of its institutional mission, the Association disseminates research outputs by publishing, as Publisher, the monthly open access and peer-reviewed scholarly journal Aequitas Magazine – Journal of Culture and Law (ISSN 3035-0271 and 3035-4803), indexed in DOAJ and ROAD.

The Publisher promotes editorial integrity and compliance with international best practices in scholarly communication, including the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) and the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
