ELSA U.Lisboa is thrilled to announce the first edition of its Summer ELSA Law School on “Law and the Digital Era”, which will take place from July 20-27, 2024. This SELS will be held in the capital of Portugal and gastronomy: Lisbon.
Our SELS is the achievement of a purpose that we have aspired to for a long time at ELSA U.Lisboa: combining the opportunity to introduce Participants to our beautiful city, Lisbon, with all its characteristic features such as gastronomy and landscapes, with an interesting Academic Programme about increasingly emerging areas in different legal fields.
As the European Capital of Innovation of 2023, Lisbon has been investing in innovation and new technologies, proving that it is one of the most important centres of development and transaction in the digital era. This is why the topic of “Law and the Digital Era” is extremely relevant to our city, enabling us to offer Participants a versatile Academic Programme, featuring lectures and workshops, regarding new technologies and the legal challenges they pose. Contracts, Consumer Law, Cybercrime, and Legal Design will be in the centre of our attention and analysis.
Apart from diving into “Law and the Digital Era”, Participants will get to experience our Social and Cultural Programme, which includes group activities on the beach, gastronomic experiences, nightlife, city tours and much more. Participants will need to bring their swimming suits and sunglasses because they might want to swim under the Portuguese sun in July.
You can find more information on our SELS on Instagram and LinkedIn.
