ABOUT EU LAW AND INTEGRATION
The world is increasingly dependent on digital sources of information and the computerized systems and networks involved in data storage, processing, and transmission. This growing dependence drives development to advance required technology. This development results in technologies that will allow for data volumes unprecedented in our history. So words like cybercrime, cyberwar, and cyber terror have started to become more commonplace, and organizations are being formed to stop the activity these terms define. The majority of current computer forensic analysis is focused on assisting the law enforcement community. The criteria that define suitability for forensic evidence in this area are the most clearly defined since computer forensic analysis must follow the same longstanding statutory and regulatory guidelines imposed on other, more traditional forensic disciplines. Existing technologies and those that are evolving, in support of law enforcement will come under increasing scrutiny as technical knowledge expands in scope. For this reason, it is imperative that sound research steeped in the scientific method becomes fundamental to the discovery and enhancement of all tools and technologies employed to assist the courts, including digital forensic evidence.
The International Summer Academy Course aims to fill in a gap in both the research and practical expertise in law, computer criminology and digital forensics in Kosovo. The program provides an education experience that prepares students for understanding, deploying, supporting and managing the process of digital forensics and cyber-crime analysis and prosecution. It offers a critical understanding of the processes used in digital forensic and cybercrime investigation. The program will help the build cadres needed to tackles the challenges of the digital economy by providing analytical skills applicable in real-world scenarios. The study also enables to develop independent scholarship and intellectual capacity in the context of judicial system reform and development in Kosovo.
