This seminar is designed to instruct students in recognising legal questions as they relate to an interdisciplinary topic, classifying such questions along the hierarchy of norms, and solving them in a convincing argumentative manner. By focusing on „EU Fundamental Rights and EU Economic Law in Smart Cities“, we will discuss the influence of large cities and metropolises on their more rural periphery. Possible aspects of discussion are, inter alia,

-   democratic legitimacy questions in such cases,

-   elements of structural support/aid

-   approaches to implement technical innovations in smart cities,

-   questions relating to the development of (large) infrastructures,

-   aspects of the efficient use of infrastructure, and

-   environmental aspects.

Particularly in times of increasingly comprehensive European regulation, European standards and regulatory approaches will be at the heart of the discussion while not neglecting their interplay with national regulation. Learning in more depth about the interplay of European and national regulation will further accustom participating students to discuss relevant legal questions across (legal) sectors and with a broader view on regulations’ effects.

Conducting the seminar in English intends to facilitate students to link their ideas and arguments to current European and international debates.
