CIVIS invites BA and MA Students in Law to apply for the blended intensive programme “European private law and modern technologies”, which will take place from 1 December 2022 to 10 March 2023.
The programme will include an introductory virtual part, comprising five lessons of two hours each, running from 1 December 2022 to 24 February 2023, and an intensive course held in Rome, running from 6 to 10 March 2023.
The aim of this project is to deepen certain topics of private law that apply to modern technologies. In particular, it is intended to create a private law course dealing with specific topics in the technological and digital sector between the four participating universities (La Sapienza University of Rome, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Université Libre de Bruxelles, University of Salzburg ‘Paris Lodron’). In particular, issues of contract law relating to contracts concluded in a totally digital manner via the Internet and contracts concluded between a physical person and an artificial intelligence (smart contracts) will be addressed.
This course is open to Bachelor’s and Master’s students at CIVIS member universities. Applicants should be enrolled in a law degree and have basic skills in European private law. Classes are mainly held in English, but some terms and some national legal concepts will also be explained in French, Italian and German.
Interested students should fill in the online application form by 30 September 2022, including a short CV and a motivation letter, including each student’s research programme
