Digitalisation permeates every part of our communication: the "who", "what", "how" and "when" has changed - as have the rules that decide the "who", "what", "how" and "when". These changes, which go hand in hand with the progressive processes of digitalisation and globalisation, are fundamental but not constant. This makes them difficult to categorise and understand. Nation states, industries, professions, media and their economic, ethical and legal rules are challenged and transformed by these developments and offer breathtaking opportunities for those who recognise them early enough.
We provide those tools and skills that enable the necessary understanding of what is happening and how to use it. Will you be managing such innovation processes in the future? This programme offers an intensive, international, multidisciplinary space for reflection, high-level lectures and practical digital exercises in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Spend the winter semester in blocked digital classes focusing on the transformation in communication and law with senior industry representatives and leading academics. Learn about best practices that successfully manage the changes we all face every day.
The Digital Communication and Law certificate course will start in the winter semester 2021 in online format. We will kick off on 20 October with a digital opening event. The courses will be held in blocks on evenings and Saturdays during the semester. An intensive week in February is planned in presence mode.
„Communication without Law is 'anything goes'. Law without Communication is 'nobody cares'. This course is for people who care and who want to join the regulatory avantgarde of the this century's 'roaring twenties'.“
"We need best analysts, lecturers, practicioners at the interfaces of digital innovation, regulation and law - to keep up with discussion and developments. This is what our program ComLaw in Vienna offers."
