About Us
Czech Association for European Studies continues its activity on renewed base. It represents a scientific society (in a form of a civic association), which covers university teachers, scientists, scholars, students, universities or other instutions involved in the different areas of the European integration studies (inc. law, economics, political science, external relations, history, etc.).
Czech ECSA is a part of the ECSA-World, the world-wide network of associations having similar interest (with the representation in 57 states in the world), supported by the European Commission.
The Association iniciates and supports education and research work in all areas of European Union studies involving economics, political science, law, culture and other branches that fall under scientific interests of the Association members. It also coordinates and integrates cooperation among Czech scholars or scientifists researchers, as well as institutions and universities, involved in the European Union studies. Last but not least, the Association coordinates relations between Czech researchers, scholars, universities and their partners in European countries and EU institutions, and it popularizes EU knowledge and ideas about the European integration. The Czech ECSA also involves activities of students, who are interested in the field of the European integration studies.
Member of the Association can be a university (part of university, faculty, etc.), other academic or research (state or private institution) or scholar himself. Membership in the Association may be proclaimed even to other person (for example a student), who fully accepts the Association aims, who is keen on studying the European integration and whose membership was recommended by two members of the Association.
What is new?
ČAES members published a book in a prestigious publishing house!
A great success is the publication of a book entitled “Legal Issues of Digitalisation, Robotization and Cyber Security in the Light of EU Law”, which was published by the prestigious publishing house Kluwer Law International B.V. (Alpheen aan den Rijn) and Wolters Kluwer CZ (Prague).
The team of authors led by doc. Naděžda Šišková focuses on key problems in a very specific area of regulation within EU law, reflecting the fact that the extremely rapid and dynamic development of modern technologies and the unprecedented degree of their integration into everyone’s everyday life are radically changing the current modus vivendi in society. This is a newly emerging branch of EU law, which is just now gaining its basic outlines. Even the name itself is not yet established, one can encounter such designations as cyber law, information technology law, digital law, modern technology law etc.
The global spread of modern technologies and their enormous interference in all aspects of everyday life is accompanied by a number of negative phenomena, such as threats to privacy and cybersecurity or interference in the area of human rights. The monograph focuses on the analysis of the most important and pressing issues of the process of digitalization, robotization and cybersecurity and brings de lege ferenda proposals regarding the optimal ways of legal regulation and the elimination of possible negative impacts of the aforementioned process. The book focuses in particular on the main directions of legal regulation in such areas as e-commerce, the use of artificial intelligence, competition law in the digital economy, consumer protection in the online world, cybersecurity and other relevant issues related to the integration of modern technologies into everyone’s everyday life.
