International legal practitioners and scientists will provide state of the art lectures and workshops to all our core subjects.

Current Program:

Online Preparatory Course (Aug 12, 2024 – Aug 23, 2023)

The students will be assigned to 4 groups based on the focus topics of the Summer School:

• Fundamentals of IP and ICT Law
• Fundamentals of Data Protection Law
• Data Driven Business Models
• Transnational Business Law

Each group will be responsible to elaborate and discuss one legal case which has to be presented in front of the class 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 see for themselves if they really understand the respective topic. Each group will be supported by a tutor on their group work.

Conference on Data Economy Law – DELCON2 (Aug 23 to 24, 2024)

The University for Continuing Education Krems welcomes all interested summer school students to join the second Conference on Data Economy Law (DELCON 2) on August 23 and 24, 2024 in Krems. The two-day conference focuses on legal challenges of ongoing global digitization and wants to provide a platform to researchers as well as relevant stakeholders to talk about current issues and possible solutions. This year, the lead topic will be: AI Regulation in Europe: More Rules than Innovation?

For accommodation we recommend the student housing "Kolping" next to the campus. Depending on the number of summer school students participating at DELCON2 we will arrange a joint transfer to Reichenau on Saturday. Please note, that the costs of the additional two nights must be covered by yourself.

Face-to-Face Course (Aug 26, 2024 – Aug 30, 2024)

In our last week, all participants will meet in Reichenau/Rax for on-site lectures, workshops and legal discussions. In addition, we also want to emphasize the network experience of our event and provide a social program for all interested students.
The renowned hotel “Flackl-Wirt” will serve as the venue for our lectures and offers modern classrooms while maintaining the cozy feel of an alpine lodge. To provide housing next to the classroom the Summer School team already pre-booked rooms at “Flackl-Wirt” for students (shared rooms for three to six people). However, if participants prefer individual accommodation there are other options available in town e.g., “Hotel Marienhof”.

The Summer School addresses High Potentials (undergraduates, graduates, doctoral/PhD students) and welcomes applicants from all across the globe.
