For the winter semester 2023/2024, I am offering a propaedeutic seminar, which is primarily aimed at those students who are interested in the focus VI (bio-, medical- and health law).
The seminar, which will take place at the end of February / beginning of March 2024 as a block seminar, is designed to prepare the participants for the successful writing of a seminar paper as an examination performance within the framework of a "writing workshop" and, in this context, to fulfill the prerequisite for participation in a main seminar according to § 35 StO/PO.
A list of the seminar paper topics can be found on the notice board in front of the chair's office (room no. 1302). Interested students are asked to register for the seminar course by e-mail (benedikt.buchner@uni-a.de), indicating their desired topic and a few words about their motivation, by 12.12.2023. If the number of registrations exceeds the number of seminar places, the allocation of seminar places and topics will be done according to the priority principle.

The further time schedule is planned for the seminar event as follows:
• Preliminary discussion and topic assignment on 19.12.2023 at 16:00 in room 1304
• Processing time from 19.12.2023 to 13.02.2024
• Presentation of the seminar work in a block event at the end of February / beginning of March (exact date after arrangement in the preliminary meeting)

Social resilience is a dynamic field of study that examines the ability of individuals, communities and societies to withstand and recover from various challenges and adversities, and to cope, adapt and transform social structures to better cope with future disturbances.

Antitrust and data protection law go hand in hand in the meta-judgment of the European Court of Justice

The age of the "data El Dorado" is probably over. Following the epochal ruling of the European Court of Justice in the Meta case (Case C-252/21, July 4, 2023), the business model of Big Data companies will have to change fundamentally - to protect their users from abuse of their personal data and the public from abuse of the dominant positions of these companies.
