Abstract
From 2002 to 2012, the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded SCRIPT, the Centre for Research on Intellectual Property and Technology Law.
Based in the Law School at the University of Edinburgh, it allowed a diverse and changing collection of scholars to network and push the boundaries of knowledge across a range of legal fields, including but not limited to those of intellectual
property law, information technology law, and medical law. Much of this work engaged to some degree with the interaction between law and culture. For the SCRIPT co-directors and associates, this was an immensely busy and highly
privileged time; the exceptional benefits of having secured funding for a range of
research projects over ten years allowed us to develop extensive national and international networks and engage in cross and multi-disciplinary projects in many
fields. While funding for SCRIPT came to an end in 2012, the legacy of SCRIPT continues, not least in the form of this journal, for which each of us has acted as contributor and reviewer, and one of us as editor-in-chief.
