Description
The course explains the e-governance legal framework and its various components. The course introduces the e-governance general legal concept and the legal disciplines that form the basis of the e-governance legal framework. The course covers the e-governance juridical aspects and challenges (including ethical concerns) from national and international (including European Union (EU)) perspectives. A walkthrough of the most relevant e-governance legal acts, cases, and principles will be provided during the course. Moreover, as the digital transformation relies a lot on different technical standards and guidelines, the course provides an insight into the pre-juridical framework of e-governance.
The course is intended for policymakers, legal practitioners, and government officials who would like to understand the e-governance legal framework, its different layers, and how to overcome related challenges. A previous legal background is optional.

The course sessions will primarily be online lecture-led presentations, with class discussions and reflection.
