Teaching in Summer Semester 2025

The Department of Innovation and Digitalisation in Law offers a wide range of courses, some of which are offered in collaboration with other universities, law firms and institutions.

The Department’s aim is to prepare students for their professional and personal future. We believe that the socio-technological progress will change the work of future lawyers, judges and other legal experts. It will be essential for our students to acquire a fundamental understanding of how technology changes law and impacts how it is developed, researched and applied. Therefore, we endeavour to provide our students with technical and transdisciplinary knowledge and teach them to adopt an interdisciplinary and international approach when dealing with legal issues.

As an interdisciplinary Department we offer a variety of courses, which explore topics such as data protection, artificial intelligence, digital and IT law (especially European digital and IT law), copyright, consumer protection law or technology and innovation law. Most of the courses are offered as elective subjects. However, the course "Legal Research” is a compulsory subject in the degree programme in Law at the University of Vienna, and the module "Digital Law” is compulsory subject in the bachelor’s programme in International Legal Studies. In addition to our classical range of courses, we also offer experimental teaching formats. For example, together with FH Campus Wien, we organise the annual "Legal Tech Hackathon” and the "Price Media Law Moot Court", or the "Legal Design Sprint", which is organised in collaboration with the Vienna Chamber of Labour.

If you have any questions about the courses, in particular with regard to administrative matters, please contact the respective office.
