"Dear all,
As you can suppose the LEFIS activities continue! If you read the blogs, you can see, for example, how the last week a very interesting Seminar on "Law & Artificial Intelligence" took place in Beja, Portugal. 40 persons participated in this meeting. The participants (lawyers and students specially) came from the region and from Brasil also. A LEFIS blog in portuguese has been included in the list of LEFIS blogs.
Danièlle Bourcier from Paris invite you (until end of July) to send a paper to the conference "
European Symposium on Governance, Law and Technology", that will take place in Paris from 19th to 22nd september 2005.
I can communicate also to you that the proofs in relation with the LEFIS public key infrastructure have finished and we shall have the PKI functioning effectively from the end of this summer.
I hope that in the next days we can open another section in the LEFIS page with reference to "Stays and jobs". The idea is to made public calls to realize research stays of to offert job possibilities to all LEFIS members. I can say that we shall put an offert from the University of Zaragoza to realizea financed stay, at least from three months, making research activities related with the projects of the Research Group "Data protection and electronic signature" that I coordinate: interested persons are invited to send to me possible proposals (as soon as possible: the call finishes the next September 16th).
Of course, I invite to you to read the LEFIS web: we put there changes and news periodically.
I have not yet received news from Brussels in relation with the application to
the Socrates Thematic Networks for 2005-2007, anyway I can say to you that the last documental justification referred to the activities of the years 2003-2004 has had an amount of 605.000 euros, when we must justify only 580.000 euros of spents.
Thank you very much to all the justificants!
Happy hollydays!
Best regards
"
