Eight School of Law students to participate in the 2011 European ICT and IPR Law Summer School in Austria
The University of Southampton party will consist of 3 LLM students, 2 LLM IT & Telecoms (distance learning), 1 LLB finalist, 1 PhD Law and 1 PhD DTC WebScience student. The inclusion of these lucky students at the prestigious event in Reichenau, Austria, 31 July - 5 August is largely due to the efforts of Visiting Professor Sylvia Kierkegaard. Each student has only had to pay a symbolic fee of just 50 Euros towards the cost of their participation, travel and accommodation.
