The aim of the Course on "International Law and Digital Space" is to provide students with the international dimension of the topic from a pre-eminent legal point of view, developing firstly the conceptual component and the (as yet unfinished) definitional process of the digital space, the ownership of rights and obligations of public and private, individual and collective actors operating in it. This aspect is completed by the discussion about negotiation, strategic, operational and cooperative processes carried out by States on a bilateral and, mainly, multilateral level within the main international and regional intergovernmental systems.
The learning of these notions is fundamental for students who intend to apply to job opportunities and related positions in the national institutional and private framework or even to the dedicated civil servant professions within international and regional organisations (especially European ones).
