Join our Erasmus+ Intensive Training Week on Data Economy Law in Reichenau / Rax (Austria)
The DDM4SME Summer School on Data Economy Law covers a broad range of trending and relevant (legal) aspects of data driven businesses. It is based on research carried out in the course of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership DDM4SME. Scholars and experts from legal practice will lecture on selected aspects of the data economy based on state-of-the-art course material developed by the DDM4SME consortium. The Summerschool addresses High Potentials (undergraduates, graduates, doctoral/phd students) and interested professionals. The Summer School will not only offer insights into the most prominent aspects of data law, but the feedback of the participants will actively contribute to the finalization of the LL.M program.
For successfully attending the Summer School a certificate worth 3 ECTS will be awarded.
The Summer School will start with a Online Preperatory Course (via Moodle) on August 22, 2022. These first two weeks will be delivered online via a specially designed Moodle course which provides flexibility and learning autonomy for the participants. This phase will be a preparation for the final week and will allow the lecturers to start right into the respective topics.The final face-to-face Course will take place in Austria from September 4 to September 9, 2022. During this phase international legal practitioners and scientists will provide state of the art lectures and workshops. The participants will have the opportunity to discuss and work on case studies on current legal problems in the areas of Data Law, Data Protection and Cybersecurity in the Data Economy, Transnational Business Law and Innovation and IP Strategy with a focus towards SMEs and Start-Ups.
Online Preperatory Course (Aug 22, 2022 to Sep 4, 2022)
The students will get assigned into 4 groups based on the focus topics of the Summer School. Each group will be responsible to elaborate and discuss one legal case which has to be presented in front of the colleges on the final day in the last week. Additionally, every main topic will offer a list of reading material and a self-assessment quiz so that the participants can decide for themselves if they understand the respective topic enough.
