IViR Summer Course on Copyright Law and Policy

The face of copyright law changes continuously, mostly due to the constant evolution of the digital networked environment and the legislative initiatives at the international and European level.  As a result, copyright professionals must keep abreast of the applicable rules, including those deriving from the TRIPS Agreement, the WIPO Treaties and the various European directives in the area. To respond to this challenge, the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam organises an annual intensive post-graduate summer course on international copyright law. The course will extend over a period of five days from June 30 to July 4, 2025. All details are available at https://www.ivir.nl/courses/icl/. At the conclusion of the course, participants will have gained valuable insight in the most crucial current issues of copyright law, examined from a comparative law perspective and in the light of recent international and regional agreements.  Participants in the course will also have access to comprehensive course material, consisting of the most relevant international, European, and American legislative documents, case law, and other background materials. The lectures are given by internationally renowned scholars, including those of the IViR, and practitioners who all share years of academic and practical experience in the field of international copyright law.
