This volume originated from an international, interdisciplinary research course organized by the Institute of Information Management of the University of Münster in 2021-2022, funded by the DAAD IVAC sponsorship program. The coauthors and their contributions represent different disciplines, fusing perspectives of law and information sciences.

The contributions present current issues in AI, ethics and human rights, policing, privacy and surveillance, social media, and data protection. The book has a further mission: it offers insight into a novel educational format that combines an intercultural learning environment with interdisciplinary co-working, e-learning methods, peer education, and interactive group work.
