Dear colleagues, In a couple of weeks, the annual Nordic Conference in ICT Law will be hosted by the Norwegian Research Center for Computers and Law (NRCCL). This year’s theme is "Data Sharing and the Data Economy: Aspirations and Legal Realities". The goal of the conference is to examine aspects of European regulatory policy that critically impact upon data sharing and data economy initiatives. In particular, the conference seeks to cast light on the extent to which these initiatives are supported by the European legal framework. This is an essential step along the path to improving, if necessary, the fit between the law on the one hand and the ideals of data sharing and data economy on the other. When and where: November 13-15, 2017, Oslo, Norway. More information and program: http://www.jus.uio.no/ifp/om/organisasjon/seri/arrangementer/2017/nordisk-ko... Please note the pre-conference events on Monday 13 November, including a workshop for PhD students and guest lecture by Professor Radim Polcak. Welcome! Lee Bygrave -- Dr. Lee A.
