Welcome to the webpage of the third International Media Law, Policy & Practice (IMLPP) conference. Run by students, the conference has been organised as a closing event for the 2018 IMLPP course. IMLPP is an optional course on the specialised Informatierecht LL.M. programme, which is offered by the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the Faculty of Law, University of Amsterdam. The course coordinator is Dr. Tarlach McGonagle (IViR).
The main aim of the conference is to provide IMLPP students with a platform to present the research that they have carried out during the course. A number of external expert speakers will participate, but the mainstay of the conference will be presentations by the students themselves. The conference will also include a moot court competition involving IMLPP students.
Attendance is open to all students on the Informatierecht LL.M. Programme and all other interested researchers and students.
