The Centre for Research and Governance on Cyber Law (CRGCL) is seeking passionate, driven law students to join our growing team for the Academic Year 2025-26. As India navigates the complexities of cyber law, data protection, and digital governance, CRGCL is at the forefront of policy research, knowledge dissemination, and strategic outreach.
We are building a collaborative team across three core verticals to amplify our impact, grow our reach, and establish thought leadership in the Indian cyber law ecosystem. If you are interested in contributing to groundbreaking research, engaging with emerging technologies, and influencing digital policy discourse in India, we want to hear from you.
About CRGCL
The Centre for Research and Governance on Cyber Law (CRGCL) is an academic forum dedicated to advancing rigorous scholarship, informed policy dialogue, and inclusive public engagement on cyber law and digital governance in India. We serve as a platform for students, researchers, and practitioners to explore emerging issues in data protection, AI regulation, digital rights, cybersecurity, and information technology law.
CRGCL promotes an interdisciplinary and democratic approach to cyber governance, aiming to build resilient and accountable institutions in the digital age. In doing so, it directly contributes to the broader goals of sustainable development, particularly SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). By situating legal research within the context of digital inclusion, technological innovation, and rights-based governance, CRGCL seeks to influence policy frameworks that are not only responsive but also ethically grounded and forward-looking.
