JJUA55217U Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Tax Law - NOTE: THE COURSE IS CANCELLED IN THE SPRING SEMESTER 2018
The course can be described as a cooperation/development
project, where the students learn to think innovatively and
entrepreneurial while using their legal competences. Innovation and
entrepreneurship is defined in the broadest possible sense as value
creation for others e.g. economic, social, cultural or societal
valuecreation. Multidisciplinarity is also innovation. The students
receive supervision and sparring from a researcher or practitioner.
The students write a project, which will result in an article that
is both scientific and innovative. Examples of such articles are
multidisciplinary articles that combine tax law with other areas of
law or with other disciplines e.g. mathematics, theology,
information science etc. Other examples could be that new or
alternative methods, theories or solutions are applied to tax
problems. Since it is a requirement to have a tax related angle or
perspective, it would be sufficient to deal with some tax related
aspects, consequences for tax revenue, tax policy issues etc. A
supervision and feedback process facilitates the students’ work on
their projects. The contact with relevant researchers and
practitioners is established and supported by the e-journal’s
editorial board as a contact base, which the cooperation projects
will be launched from. The name of the e-journal is UCPH Fiscal
Relations Law Journal (FIRE Journal).
The student chooses an area and a topic for his/her article, and
independently identifies and articulates the main research
question(s). The student actively and independently works with the
article, also regarding source search, methodological and legal
theoretical considerations, analysis, reasoning, judgment,
scientific and innovative communication, etc. The student is
expected to coherently integrate innovation and entrepreneurship in
the research article. Through the supervision and feedback process,
the student trains to give and receive constructive, formative
feedback via peer feedback, round table seminars, etc. These
activities help to enhance student learning during their work with
the article, and ensure a good study environment.
The primary area of expertise is tax law. As long as the student
project has a tax law angle, all other legal and non-legal
disciplines are relevant. Students are required to have good legal
competencies or a relevant other academic knowledge, since the
course’s main intended learning outcome are innovation and
entrepreneurial competences. These competences mean the ability to
think creatively and outside the box, questioning the status quo,
consider value-creating solutions for private and public society,
tackling challenges, and explore new ways of doing things.
As an MA elective, the course builds on the legal competencies
students acquire during the BA program. During the course, students
develop innovative and entrepreneurial skills in synthesis with
their legal competencies. The course also sharpens their
communicative abilities regarding complex legal matters. On MA
level, the course is an extension of the bachelor report and serves
as a preparation for the master’s thesis. As the students’ projects
can regard various subject areas and disciplines, provided there is
a tax-legal angle, there are no immediate prerequisite courses,
since the students in the first semester of the Ma program have had
a mandatory course on tax law. All MA students will be well placed
to take the course.
