I am Cristina Poncibò, a Professor of Comparative Law at the Law Department of the University of Turin, Italy, and a Faculty Member at the Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London. I am also a Fellow at Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Additionally, I serve as a coordinator of the Global Private Law Group and as a member of the Tech Law Group of the Law School Global League (LSGL) and as a Fellow of the Transatlantic Technology Law Forum, a joint initiative of Stanford Law School and the Vienna School of Law.

My teaching and research interests lie at the intersection of Law, Science, and New Technologies. I co-edited Contracting and Contract Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (Hart, 2022) and The Cambridge Handbook of Smart Contracts, Blockchain Technology and Digital Platforms (Cambridge University Press, 2019).

I’m actively engaged with the Italian Association of Comparative Law, that participates to the International Association of Comparative Law, and serve as a Delegate of the Law Department to the American Association of Comparative Law. As a member of ASCOLA, Juris Diversitas, and the European Law Institute, I also regularly advise European institutions and international organizations. Currently, I coordinate the LLM in International Trade Law, co-organized with ITC-ILO, in collaboration with Unicitral and Unidroit.

Originally from a Piedmontese family, I have a deep connection to the UNESCO-heritage area of Monferrato. I am also a proud mother of three children and have a passion for travelling.
