The NOVA Knowledge Centre for Data-Driven Law promotes the use of data in legal research within the NOVA School of Law. In doing so, the Centre contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 16, dedicated to Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG16), by assisting in its goal of developing effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels.

It is guided by NOVA School of Law’s vocation to expand legal science in Portugal, with a special mission to stimulate data-based legal and multidisciplinary research – a field left practically untouched at the national level. It is also part of CEDIS – Research & Development Centre on Law and Society, the Research Unit of NOVA School of Law, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. CEDIS is funded by FCT, I.P. (Foundation for Science and Technology, Public Institute), through national funds from the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, under projects UIDB/00714/2020 and UIDP/00714/2020.
