Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \nThis certificate Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open exclusively to LLM and LLB students at LSE Law School. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nStudents will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSpeakers: Philipp Paech\, Elisabeth Noble \nMasterclass Session 1 – 16 October 2025 \nMasterclass Session 2 – 30 October 2025 \nMasterclass Session 3 – 13 November 2025 \nMasterclass Session 4 – 27 November 2025 \nMasterclass Session 5 – 11 December 2025 URL:https://lselaw.wpcomstaging.com/event/fintech-and-digital-finance-masterclass-session-1/ LOCATION:MAR 2.04\, Marshall Building\, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields\, London\, WC2A 2ES\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Convene  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lselaw.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Masterclass-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251015T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251015T193000 DTSTAMP:20251015T134745Z CREATED:20251015T134745Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251015T134745Z UID:8522-1760551200-1760556600@lselaw.wpcomstaging.com SUMMARY:The four “Ws” of international arbitration – why\, which\, who and where - Arbitration Masterclass Seminar 1 DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for Law Students students ONLY. \n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all five Sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants  to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass.

A VALID LSE ID WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY. PLEASE NOTE THAT BOOKING A TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE ADMISSION. TO ENSURE YOUR PLACE\, WE ADVISE ARRIVING EARLY. \n\n\nThe Russian Federation’s intervention in Ukraine\, which commenced in 2014\, escalated into full-scale armed conflict in 2022. Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory have not been limited to military objectives but also extend to civilian infrastructure. Beyond road bridges and power stations\, Russia has also targeted publishing houses\, libraries\, and museums\, and other places of cultural significance. In this\, Russia’s actions fit within a broader long-term weaponization of culture in the service of a political narrative that questions Ukrainian national identity and statehood. The current active campaign against the culture of the Ukrainian people highlights longstanding concerns for the protection of culture and heritage in war. \nThe panel will discuss the complexities of cultural heritage\, from the perspective of a variety of relevant actors in the current conflict\, including military\, the public\, and international partners. The panel will examine the question of war crimes against heritage objects\, including the deliberate targeting of heritage and looting. The speakers will explain how objects of cultural significance are invoked to justify and legitimate violence\, to the point of providing a rhetorical justification for war. The panel will address the broader questions raised by cultural heritage in conflict narratives as well as the distinctive Ukrainian cultural viewpoint emerging from its fight for independence and freedom. \nSpeakers: \nLieutenant Colonel Timothy Purbrick – Military Cultural Property Protection Consultant at Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe \nKristin Hausler – k.hausler@biicl.org – Dorset Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law and Director\, Centre for International Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law \nIryna Odrekhivska –  i.odrekhivska@ucl.ac.uk – Lecturer in Ukrainian and East European Culture\, School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London \nChair: David Kershaw – Dean of LSE Law School\, Professor of Law \nThis event is jointly organised by LSE Law School and LSE Lawyers Without Borders URL:https://lselaw.wpcomstaging.com/event/how-culture-becomes-a-weapon-lessons-from-russias-war-on-ukraine/ LOCATION:MAR 1.04\, Marshall Building\, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields\, LSE\, London\, WC2A 2ES CATEGORIES:Convene  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lselaw.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Russia-Ukraine-.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
