ABOUT EVENT

9 – 14 February 2026 | Iași, Romania

Are you a student or young practitioner eager to explore how technology is reshaping the legal world?

Join us in Iași, Romania, for the 3rd Edition of the “Go Digital in Law” Winter School — a one-of-a-kind international learning experience at the crossroads of law, innovation, technology, and digital transformation.

Organized in collaboration with the European Campus of City-Universities (EC2U), this year’s edition marks an important step forward for the Go Digital in Law initiative. The Winter School is now part of the EC2U academic events calendar and will welcome participants and professors from the eight EC2U partner universities, alongside other distinguished institutions such as the University of Białystok (Poland) and additional international collaborators.

This broader academic alliance reinforces the truly European dimension of the program, offering participants a diverse and multidisciplinary environment for learning, exchange, and innovation.

As in previous years, and in line with the European Union’s Digital and Technology Agenda, we will also invite representatives from the European Commission to join our discussions and contribute to the dialogue. The event is partially supported by the European Commission, whose initiatives and funding make such international educational collaborations possible.

Through a dynamic mix of lectures, workshops, and interactive sessions, you’ll gain practical skills, cutting-edge insights, and international connections in digital law, AI regulation, data governance, digital markets, data, digital services, cybersecurity, and legal technology.
