Short biography

Rojda Tosun devotes her fellowship year to the question of how state institutions can give people more access to their rights. She is particularly interested in legal design, data and artificial intelligence. To create human-centered legal services and products, she recently founded the think tank “PublicLegalDesign”.

Rojda is a fully qualified lawyer and completed a design thinking program at the Hasso Plattner Institute.
