Lodz Cyber Hub invites University of Lodz students to participate in the seminar “Cyberspace and International Law”, offered at the Faculty of Law and Administration in the summer semester of 2026.
The course explores topics that have attracted exceptionally strong student interest in recent years, including:
• human rights online and the limits of freedom of expression in the international cyberspace
• privacy, digital surveillance, and the protection of personal data
• emerging regulatory approaches to artificial intelligence and content moderation
• user safety online and risk analysis related to Big Tech actors
• practical case studies such as “Is your phone really listening to you?”, “Who is responsible for a deepfake?”, and “Who controls the algorithms?”
This seminar addresses contemporary regulatory challenges and developments, making it ideal for students who want to understand how cyberspace functions from the perspective of international law and real-world practice.
The course is taught in English and attracts participants from various regions of the world each semester. The curriculum reflects ongoing global regulatory trends, including developments within the European Union (DSA, DMA, AI Act, MiCA), the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and broader multilateral cooperation frameworks.
The seminar employs an interactive teaching model that combines the analysis of current global regulations on platforms, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data protection with practical case studies in international law. Students participate in workshops on legal reasoning and working with documents of international organizations, as well as Masterclasses delivered by practitioners and experts from Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Indo-Pacific.
Due to very high and steadily increasing interest, the seminar is offered in two independent editions:
• for Erasmus+ students and full-time law and administration students,
• and in a separate edition dedicated to part-time evening students of the Faculty of Law and Administration.
