Dear Colleagues:

The University of Amsterdam’s Institute for Information Law will be holding its second annual Summer Course on Privacy Law and Policy from July 7-11, 2014. The course will focus on privacy law and policy related to the Internet, electronic communications and ***online and social media***. A faculty of leading experts from the EU and the US will explore the recent developments and broader trends in this rapidly changing field, and will explain how businesses, governments and others can achieve their goals within it. Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the Dutch Data Protection Authority, will provide a keynote address.

The course is aimed at private sector lawyers, government officials, NGO staff, academics, PhD students and others who work in the areas of privacy and data protection law. The course will be held in a historic canal house and will employ a seminar format that allows a deeper examination of the subject than is possible at most professional conferences. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants. Additional information—including a list of faculty members, the course programme and a link for online registration—is available at http://www.ivir.nl/courses/plp/plp.html. For questions, contact course organizer Kristina Irion (informationlaw@xxxxxx).

Course location: De Rode Hoed, Keizersgracht 102, Amsterdam

Please distribute this information widely in your professional networks and to share it with anyone who may be interested.

Thank you,

Dennis & Kristina
