Learning outcomes

The compulsory course Public Law Aspects of Digital Technologies places digital technologies in public law regulation. For this reason, the course is divided into six headings, ranging from basic policies defining approaches to digital innovation to the approaches of different public sectors to this issue. By completing the course, students will gain an understanding of the detailed issues of how states and international organizations approach digital innovation and what future, not only regulatory, goals they have for themselves in this area. This is because policies can go some way to determining the direction of future regulation. In the case of constitutional law, the subject emphasises the identification of the fundamental impacts of the development of digital innovation on fundamental human rights and freedoms. In particular, the interpretation focuses on possible interference with the right to privacy, freedom of expression, the right to vote and to be voted for and the right to information. The area of administrative law focuses on digital public services and public administration interfaces. As globalisation deepens, there is also a growing need for increased international cooperation. This cooperation is not only taking place in the most important international governmental organisations, but also international cooperation focusing on sub-digital technologies is emerging. Students will thus be introduced to the work of selected international organisations in the field of digitalisation. Students should also get a basic orientation on how digital innovations affect economic processes, how they are manifested in different sectors of the financial system and public finance. The impact of technology on the environment, social security and society in general cannot be ignored. An unquestionable trend is the demand for sustainability, which also permeates the above-mentioned areas. By completing the course Public Law Aspects of Digital Technologies, the student should acquire a basic orientation of what impacts the implementation of digital innovations can have, including positive and negative externalities from the perspective of public law. This course is thus intended to establish a broad foundation for the completion of the chosen module of the degree course. In the course of the course, students work with the text of policy documents of selected states and international organizations, legal regulations, and learn to search them for relevant information in relation to specific digital innovations. Students also study case law and administrative decisions of supervisory authorities, which are discussed in the course, and address specific examples they may encounter when implementing various digital innovations in the marketplace.
By completing the course, students will gain an understanding of the detailed issues of how states and international organizations are approaching digital innovation and what future, not only regulatory, goals they are setting for themselves in this area
