The European Academy of Law and ICT emerged from a common initiative of three colleagues and professors of ICT Law from universities forming the so-called “Vienna Group” in 2005: Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria), University of Brno (Czech Republic), University of Pécs (Hungary); close cooperation was developed with University of Bratislava (Slovakia) and University of Wroclaw (Poland); in 2009, University of Göttingen (Germany) joined the group.

The mission of the European Academy of Law and ICT is to organize conferences and seminars and to support education and learning in the field of Law and ICT. Permanent events include the summer school held since 2006 and the conference “Lex Informatica”. Moreover, the Academy is a platform for exchange of knowledge and expertise in the constantly changing field of ICT Law and Legal Informatics.
