2. VUB SUMMER ACADEMY FOR GLOBAL PRIVACY LAW 2022 - "ENGINEERING THE DATA REGULATION(S) IN AN AGE OF REFORM"- Applications Closed!

The adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was the major piece of the EU data governance framework. In order to complete this framework, EU policymakers have been busy drafting amendments to existing laws and proposing new legal measures to respond to the realities of the data economy. In this context, the European Commission has most notably put forward several regulatory proposals. 

The 2022 Summer Academy for Global Privacy Law will focus on the EU data governance reform. Each regulatory text will first be placed within its proper background and ecosystem, before analysing its regulatory approach and (still draft) provisions. Particular attention will be paid to its relationship with specific aspects of the EU data protection law, particularly with the GDPR.

The 2022 Summer Academy for Global Privacy Law will take place in a hybrid format, both online and on-site, from Monday, June 27 to Friday, July 1, 2022. In the morning, participants will attend lectures by selected speakers including internationally recognised academics, policymakers, data protection authorities, and civil society representatives. In the afternoon, they will engage in interactive sessions and teamwork allowing them to further connect regardless of their location.

For more information and to apply, please visit the Summer Academy website.

The course runs from 27 June to1 July 2022

4. STUDY IN VENICE SUMMER SCHOOL: THE SHAPE OF WATER. Applications Closed!

Study in Venice Summer School: The shape of water is the first example of an inter-university summer school in Venice.

Conceived within Study in Venice, a project that brings together the four main higher education institutions in Venice - the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, the Benedetto Marcello Music Conservatory, Ca' Foscari University and Iuav University of Venice - the summer school aims to welcome diverse students from all over the world who wish to experience Venice together in order to draw inspiration from it and build an original narrative vision of the lagoon city.
 

Students will be guided by professors from the four partner institutions on a journey combining the hands-on exploration of the city with guided tours and university lectures on archaeology, architecture, art and music history, performing arts and environmental science.
 

The first edition of Study in Venice Summer School will be curated by Giorgio Andreotta Calò (Venice, 1979), an artist who combines great international experience with a profound knowledge of the city. The 'Souvenise' programme designed by Andreotta Calò for the Summer School sees the city of Venice as a privileged observatory from which to try to understand the changes that are taking place on a macroscopic scale.
 

The focus of the investigation will be water, which is the element that most characterises the territory. The practice of walking will become an instrument for exploring the city and its immediate surroundings. During the planned collective walks, the students will be invited to collaborate actively through visual, tactile and sound practices and exercises (e.g., the sampling of the city's sounds through field recordings and soundscape, writing exercises, etc.); these practices will be useful in informing the students’ own unprecedented vision of the city.
 

The final part of the workshop will enable the participants to synthesise their experiences in the field and the theoretical courses into an intensive workshop that will see them create a 'souvenir' based on a project or a music text, which will represent their personal experience of the city and its ecosystem, including artistic performances.
 

The experience of the Summer School will be compiled in a notebook or in video/sound recordings that will document the three weeks of research on Venice.
 

Program dates: 4 July - 22 July 2022

2. The Summer School of the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Warwick, Performance and Politics on the New Silk Roads. Deadline 31 May 2022

Launched in 2013, and hailed as the largest geo-economics initiative in history, China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has largely been discussed as a consciously designed geopolitical and economic project. However, it is also an initiative, a statement of intention, a performance of China on the global stage, and a kind of ‘development theatre.’ In this one-week summer school for postgraduate students, we ask: what does it mean to ‘revive’ and perform Silk Roads for the twenty-first century, and how is this geopolitical chronotype productive for politics and theatre and performance studies?

We shall examine the performances of state actors who, typically co-produce the ways in which China is now projecting itself as a benevolent new development actor. But we shall also consider the counter performances that the BRI sparks: performances of acquiescence (from business elites and supportive local groups) as well as performances of resistance (from labour organizers, environmentalists, and anti-corruption campaigners). We shall discuss Belt and Road as a site of cultural production and cultural politics and the ways theatre and performance artists, visual artists, musicians, and filmmakers from the countries along the New Silk Road routes and corridors (Western Europe, the Balkans, Central and South-East Asia, Middle East, Africa, etc.) engage, critique and represent the underbelly of the contemporary silk roads – contemporary linkages between the circulations of peoples and desires, the global spread of the capitalist market and economic globalization, and the human and environmental catastrophes they unleash.

Focusing on selected cities along the New Silk Roads (Venice, Trieste, Belgrade, Athens . . .) we shall also examine the contested nature of BRI-driven, infrastructural, material restructuring of urban space and its effects on the contours of lives, places, and socio-natures. Through talks, workshops, and demonstrations the participants will be exposed to a variety of disciplinary approaches and ways in which they could be combined to build a new critical framework to understand the New Silk Roads performatively as a relational and intersectional critical concept and practice. The summer school will also explore the history and artistic dimensions of the silk roads and the Venetian links to them through site visits within the lagoon city.
