The EU is becoming a world leader in platform regulation. In this week-long summer course, we will offer a deep dive into the law and policy of the ground-breaking Digital Services Act, as well as other legislation aiming to reform the laws for online intermediation and the digital economy (e.g. the Digital Markets Act). Hosted in Amsterdam by the Institute for Information Law (IViR) and its DSA Observatory, the course will be taught by an international roster of leading experts, including academic specialists, legal practitioners, and professionals in government and in the non-profit sector.

The course will extend over a period of five days from July 1 to 5, 2024.

Goals of the course:
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be up to speed on key developments in the regulation of online platforms under EU law, covering a variety of different legal instruments and with a particular focus on the new Digital Services Act. They will have studied the legal substance of this regulatory framework, as well as its legislative history and the roadmap for its future implementation and enforcement. Participants will also have had the opportunity to expand their networks and connect with other professionals and experts in the field. In addition, they will receive access to a set of course materials containing current and relevant resources on platform law and regulation.

Our seminar format aims to promote interaction between participants and faculty, and, over the course of five days, allow for a more thorough examination of the subject than is possible at most professional conferences. By combining theorists and practitioners, we aim to connect deep reflection and technical expertise with practical, actionable insight.

Timing and location:
The course will extend over a five-day period from July 1 to 5, 2024 at the Institute for Information Law, at the University of Amsterdam’s Roeterseiland Campus in the center of Amsterdam.
