Dear Colleagues:

This is to inform you that the University of Geneva organizes the 4th edition of the Geneva Internet L@w Summer School  from June 19 to June 30, 2017 (apologies for cross-posting).

The Geneva Internet l@w summer school offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the framework of an Internet law clinic and to discuss cutting edge Internet law and policy issues with academics (including researchers participating in the Geneva Internet L@w Research Colloquium, see below), practitioners, representatives of global policy makers, international organizations and leading institutions, including (for this year again) the Berkman Klein Center, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the Geneva Internet Platform (GIP), as well as from other prestigious academic or governmental institutions and global internet companies (Google and eBay).

Additionally, this is to inform you about the second edition of the Geneva Internet L@w Research Colloquium which will take place on 23 June 2017. The colloquium is organized by the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the Berkman Klein Center, the CRIDES Center for Economic Law and Society at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL), the Digital Asia Hub, the Geneva Internet Platform, the Institute for Technology and Society of Rio, and Renmin University of China. The colloquium, held in the framework of the 4th edition of the Geneva Internet L@w Summer School, provides researchers working in Internet law the opportunity to present their work-in-progress to a global panel of Internet law experts (coming from all the partner institutions involved in the colloquium), engage with one another in an informal setting, have in-depth discussions and exchanges, and receive helpful feedback and advice (see the testimonials for the first colloquium: https://www.unige.ch/droit/pi/summer-school/internet-law/internet-lw-summer-school-2017/research-colloquium/#tab5).

We very much look forward to receiving applications from students and from researchers interested in stimulating discussions with international experts and colleagues. 

Please note that the deadline for applications is May 1st, 2017 for the summer school, and April 14, 2017 for the research colloquium.
