Type D and Type F activities
Type D learning activities are the student's choice, type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Teaching Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F learning activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Modules taught at the University of Verona
Include the modules listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).
Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period in which the curriculum is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.

These CFUs will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 CFUs in total, of type F if the study plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.
Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.
Method of inclusion in the booklet: request the certificate or equivalency from CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for the inclusion of the exam in the career, by email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
Warning: to students, who have achieved the B2 level of English in their three-year careers (bachelor), we emphasize the need to replace the full B2 level of English, provided by the study plan, with the C1 level of "computerized" English (prova informatizzata) or to acquire other language proficiency in a community language at least at the full B1 level.

Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery
Mode of inclusion in the booklet: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only upon obtaining the Open Badge will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. CONTAMINATION LAB
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.
Upon completion of a CLab, students will be entitled to receive 6 CFU (D- or F-type credits).

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
5. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum/study plan (check carefully what is indicated on the Teaching Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Learning objectives
This course provides students with legal notions and concepts necessary to understand the meaning, reach and scope of application of legal rules in the field of new technologies from a comparative and transnational perspective. The law of new technologies is dealt with both from a theoretical perspective, with focus on the effectiveness and efficacy of legal rules, and from a practical one, with focus on normative and contractual texts and relevant court decisions from multiple jurisdictions. At the end of the course the student has to show to have acquired the following skills:
- knowledge of objects and methodologies of comparative law applied to new technologies, with specific reference to the notions and fundamental concepts relating to data (personal data, sensitive data, economic data, "big data")
- ability to develop an economic analysis in relations with the law of new technologies, in particular for what concerns the theory of monopoly and economies of scale (consumption, production, innovation)
- familiarity with European legal rules relating to conflict of laws and conflict of jurisdiction in matters of law and technologies and associated online dispute resolution methods
- knowledge of the basics of comparative and transnational personal identity law and in relation to digital identity and data protection laws, in particular for what concerns Europe, United States and China
- knowledge of the concept of property in comparative law, in relation to the different methods of data processing
- knowledge of the basics of comparative and European intellectual property law and competition applied to new technologies (data protection, software and database protection in Europe, the United States and China, unfair competition and competition, abuse of a dominant position, anti-competitive agreements , relations between competition law and "big data"
- knowledge of the basics of European, comparative and transnational law for what concerns contracts based on new technologies and data transfer
- ability to evaluate the transmission and processing of data and consumer protection rules.

Program
The program for attending students is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the student to the analysis of the "Fundamental concepts in the field of technology regulation and governance" and provides the theoretical and practical tools for studying the relationship between technological change, law and regulation. Particular attention will be paid to the impact of technology on the structural characteristics of the legal system and on the value of data, with attention also to the related ethical profiles. The second part provides the student with the main "regulatory coordinates" of digital technologies, artificial intelligence and algorithm, in a European and comparative perspective. The third part is dedicated to the analysis of "Law of the digital age in the different areas of private law" and guides the student in understanding the impact of technology on the main private institutions (contract, property, liability) and on the fundamental rights of the person. , consumer and user. During the first lesson, a detailed program of the contents covered, of the group work carried out in class with the teacher, and of the seminars with internationally renowned foreign teachers organized as part of the course will be provided.

The course includes lectures (supported by the use of ppt presentations); work in groups on the analysis of current cases led in class by the teacher; viewing of video clips on specific topics with commentary in class, seminars.

Evaluation criteria
The final grade is aimed at enhancing the active participation in the class of the student in the proposed activities (case discussion; presentation, role game ...).
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
