The aim of the project is to acquaint the wider academic community and civil society with the need to harmonize national rules of criminal procedure with EU rules, as well as with the importance of information
technology in achieving this goal. One of the best illustrations of the potential of information technology to advance development of law is the harmonization of national with supranational legislation. Information technology has a great potential to automate many repetitive and simpler legal tasks. This potential is slowly but steadily being realized in the last decade with an upswing of many legal tech companies through EU and the world. The current UNS curricula do not usually provide the proper knowledge and skills in legal technology as their outcome. Thus the students in general lack awareness of possibilities of process of digital transformation in law. The project will foster the dialogue between future lawyers and IT professionals on the importance of harmonization of criminal procedure law of Republic of Serbia with relevant EU rules and acquaint students and wider academic community with legal technology and to enhance their digital skills and competence. The participants of the summer school are future representatives of the legislative and executive authorities at the local, provincial and republic level, holders of judicial functions, lawyers who will get
acquainted with the European dimension of the project and who will promote the adopted European values in the future. Also, the dissemination activities shall inform the wider academic community and public in general about the importance of harmonization of national rules with EU legislation. This shall be accomplished by implementing three summer schools and disseminating information about the activities and the results of the project.
