The folder containing the final version of your papers is now available on our Moodle website.

The aim of the course is to present, discuss and improve your work in progress. While the central goal of the course is to enable you to enhance the substantive dimension of your research, three further aspects will also be in focus: presentation skills (ability to succinctly and accurately express ideas orally), analytical skills (handling complex arguments, and understanding your strong and weak points), and commentating skills (giving constructive and useful criticism). You all are expected to act as a commentator on other papers within a session and actively participate in discussions. Hence, it is crucial you will be aware of each other work.

See you next week.

As a part of the Doctoral Training Course in Florence, Prof. Martin Scheinin will hold the seminar Mass Surveillance vs. Privacy that will take place on 4 December 2014, from 3 to 5 pm. The participation on the seminar is voluntary. In case you are interested in joining, please pay attention to the reading materials that can be downloaded from the WG Moodle website.

We are really excited to welcome you all in Florence next week! Here are the latest news and updates.

Due to the recent dropouts, the program had to be modified again. You can download its most recent version from this website.

Please pay attention to the changed shuttle buses’ schedule on the day of the conference dinner. The shuttle buses will drive you to Osteria la Capponcina restaurant and take you back home afterwards. You can also choose one out of two bus stops that is the most convenient for you. Needless to say, the buses are free of charge.

As you know, the deadline for the papers’ submission has been prolonged until 25 November 2014. Please remember that it is highly important we will receive your contributions on time, since we need to distribute them among the course participants. All papers should be submitted through the WG Moodle website (see the instructions on the course website) Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
