Niels van Dijk obtained a LL.M. in Dutch law at the Universiteit van Amsterdam in 2003 with a specialization in legal philosophy. Between 2003-2004 he further specialized in philosophy of the sciences at the Postgraduate School of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. In 2006 he obtained a M.A. in philosophy at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. He is currently a researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel where he prepares a Ph D. in the project "Law and Autonomic Computing. A mutual transformation process". His research deals with the conflictive encounter of new information technologies with legal regimes like data protection and intellectual rights.
