Global Technology Law and Policy: Spring 2020
Global Technology Law and Policy is an intensive three-week seminar that examines the development of global technology and intellectual property policy. The course is a collective initiative of the University of Ottawa, the University of Haifa, and the University of Bocconi with students from each university participating. The first part of the course will be held in Ottawa with five classes focused on Internet governance, privacy, and AI. Classes will also feature several guest lectures and academic site visits. Students will then transfer to the University of Haifa, where classes will continue on the development on policies on intellectual property, cyber-security and privacy.
