Cordially invite you to participate in a Call for Papers for

the International Scientific Conference,

„Public law and the challenges of new technologies and digital markets”

To be held on 26 September 2018 in Bergamo, Italy

New technologies have changed the modern marketplace in all its aspects. However, these changes have not been continuous or uniform. Indeed some of the new market participants are proud to call themselves „digital disruptors”. Consequently the lawmakers now face one of the most difficult challenges in years insofar as they have to address the varied impact of the digital market on market behaviors and their new structure.

The conference will seek to delineate the role of the state and public economic law in fostering a new digital economy.

Subject areas

1) Digital market ( / Digital market participants ) and legal regulations

2) Digital risks - Cybersecurity

3) Personal data protection

4) Digital platforms and the labor market

5) Legal aspects of new technologies in financial services (fintech, bitcoin, blockchain)

6) Consumer-prosumer protection on the digital economy

7) Public procurement online

All problem areas will be presented from the perspective of public economic law and challenges facing the lawmakers as well as issues raised by judicial decisions and market practice.
