Het Instituut voor
Informatierecht verzorgt jaarlijks twee Summer Courses:
-
Privacy Law and Policy Summer Course:
Description of the course:
This week-long
summer course will focus on privacy law and policy related
to the Internet, electronic communications and online and
social media, and on how businesses, governments and others
can achieve their goals within this legal framework. Held in
a historic building on one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful
canals, the course will feature a distinguished faculty of
European and American academics, regulators and
practitioners who will, collectively, examine the topic from
a transatlantic perspective. The course will employ a
seminar format that promotes interaction between
participants and faculty and allows for a deeper examination
of the subject than is possible at most professional
conferences. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
Objectives of
the course:
At the conclusion of the course, participants will: (1)
understand the latest developments in E.U. and U.S. privacy
law related to the Internet, electronic communications and
online and social media; (2) have insight into how these
critical areas of privacy law and policy are likely to
evolve in the future, and into the strategic and legal
implications of these impending changes; and (3) possess a
set of course materials containing the most current and
relevant European and American legislative, judicial and
regulatory documents in the area.

International Copyright Law Summer Course:
Description of the course:
The face of
copyright law changes continuously, mostly due to the
constant evolution of the digital networked environment and
the legislative initiatives at the international and
European level. As a result, copyright professionals must
keep abreast of the applicable rules, including those
deriving from the TRIPS Agreement, the WIPO Treaties and the
various European directives in the area. The Institute for
Information Law organises an annual intensive post-graduate
course on international copyright law. At the conclusion of
the course, participants will have gained valuable insight
in the most crucial current issues of copyright law,
examined from a comparative law perspective and in the light
of recent international and regional agreements.
Participants in the course will also have access to
comprehensive course material, consisting of the most
relevant international, European, and American legislative
documents, case law, and other background materials. The
lectures are given by internationally renowned scholars,
including those of the Institute for Information Law, and
practitioners who all share years of academic and practical
experience in the field of international copyright law.
Objectives of the course
Every seminar focuses on one specific issue of copyright
law, which participants explore in depth with the lecturer.
The course extends over a period of five days and is divided
into nine seminars, given during morning or afternoon
sessions. All lunch breaks are spent together as a group.
