Testimonials
Adrien Buensod - Switzerland
" During this summer, I had the chance to attend the Internet Law Summer School in the University of Geneva. It was a wonderful opportunity. The course organizers had everything planned, they were extremely friendly and helpful.
About the course itself: the professors and experts brought in were extremely interesting. Their varying backgrounds made the diverse subjects they talked about even more compelling. Allowing the classes to be held outside the campus (at the Hardt Foundation, ITU, etc) allowed for us to not feel cramped up in a class and helped making those two weeks flow. Furthermore, I very much enjoyed working with my fellow course attendees when I had the chance. Speaking of us, I have met incredible people. The more they talked about themselves, the more amazing they all seemed to be and all came from such different origins and backgrounds. Their intelligence and motivation struck me and motivated me to concentrate and their kindness made me regret no being able to spend more time with them.
It was a pleasure to attend this summer course and it was a pleasure to meet every single person I met there, be it a professor, an assistant or a fellow student. "

" For the people who are interested in internet law, Geneva Internet Law Summer School must be on your list. It helped us to get a wide perspective regarding each aspect of internet law and best experts and academicians in this field flared our curiosity even more. It was not only the courses which were well organized, but also outdoor activities were planned ahead to make sure we had the best time in the beautiful city of Geneva. "

" The Internet Law Summer School was a remarkable program which covered the main issues relating to internet, data protection, cybersecurity, intellectual property, digital platforms (just to name a few!).
The speakers came from universities, institutions and companies from many countries. They made their presentation materials available, answered questions and offered to be contacted to address other topics of interest for the students. Another strong point of this course were the students. They provided a dimension of diversity, not just because of the different nationalities but also because of their backgrounds (lawyers, engineers, anthropologists, etc).
The discussions in and off class were so much interesting because of that. The program was well organised. We had the schedule beforehand and there were different channels of communication thus any question or doubt by the students could be rapidly answered. The Summer School also organised many social activities aimed at discovering the city of Geneva and enjoying the free time among classmates. "

" It was a great experience to join the 2018 Internet Law Summer School in Geneva. The course exceeded all expectation in terms of classes, seminars, professors and classmates.
An amazing atmosphere, with incredible colleagues from all over the world allowed us to share academic and professional experiences while discussing the most challenging topics of law and digital economy. Also, the opportunity to be in the international environment of Geneva makes the experience even more exciting as we are invited visit the main international organizations and learn from great professionals. It is really worth it and I strongly recommend. "

" Attending the Internet Law summer School was a great learning experience for me. Being a computer science student I just had an overview of the legal issues involved in cybersecurity. This summer school gave me a clear understanding of topics such as Data Privacy, Data protection issues in ecommerce, Internet governance and human rights, platform liability etc. which according to me is important when you are at the developing front of the softwares. The speakers were some of the best people from the field from around the world and I enjoyed attending all the lectures.
The class hosted a bunch amazing people from all over the world with different backgrounds. The conversations were never dull or boring. I got to learn a great deal of things from my fellow classmates. The organizers were great, always ready to help you out with anything you need.
I would highly recommend the Internet Law Summer School. So, If you want to learn about internet law, if you want to meet amazing people, if you want to make memories you would cherish for your entire life and all of it within a duration of a few weeks then please apply for the course. You will not come out the same as you went in. "
