# Background of the summerschool

The interdisciplinary summerschool on privacy (ISP) provides an intensive one week academic post-graduate programme teaching privacy from a technical, legal and social perspective. The goal of the summerschool is to provide students with a solid background in the theory of privacy construction, modelling and protection from these three different perspectives. It also aims to help them to establish a first international network with peers and senior academics across these disparate disciplines.

Participants of the summerschool are awarded two ECTS (study credits) and receive a certificate of attendance issued by the Radboud University attesting this.

# Theme: AI, Algorithms & Privacy

The theme "AI, Algorithms & Privacy" addresses the privacy issues that arise from the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning algorithms, and studies how to address these issues. Topics within this theme are e.g. transparency, discrimination, and adversarial learning.

# Format

The summer school is interdisciplinary, involving the following disciplines: computer science, law and social sciences / media and communication studies. The school lasts one week, with nine scheduled lectures (five morning lectures and four afternoon lectures) of two hours each. These nine lectures are equally distributed over the three disciplines, with top-notch lectures from each of the disciplines. The lectures will lay the grounds for an interdisciplinary conversation among students and lecturers coming from a variety of backgrounds.

The remaining time is used for hands on working group sessions to study practical cases. The cases will be offered by businesses, governments, government related institutions (like DPAs) and civil society/NGOs. Groups of six students, ideally two from each discipline, are formed to tackle the cases and report back on their results in a plenary session.

The school is held in a location that encourages dialogue and social interactions between both the staff and the students, both during lectures and in the evening. Staff (i.e. lecturers) are encouraged to stay at the summer school for the whole length of the school. The summer school is foremost aimed at PhD students from computer science, law and social sciences.

# Practical Information

The summer school is held at Hotel Erica (http://www.hotelerica.nl), Berg en Dal, The Netherlands. The hotel is well equipped and ideally situated in the woods close to Nijmegen, and easily reached by bus from Nijmegen train station. Nijmegen has direct train connections with Schiphol, the Dutch national airport.
