The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, on October 24 at 16:00 p.m. (CET), the webinar “The origins of the European Union’s Standardization and Certification Policy. The STAR program.”
The session will be provided by Miguel López Coronado and is integrated in the Jean Monnet Chair “Telecommunications Policy in the EU and the Information Society” offered by the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO).
The single market, a fundamental objective of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, would encourage the development of a standardization policy in the telecommunications sector that would be established in parallel with the commitments of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) of 1979, created to promote international trade and eliminate technical barriers.
The event is held in collaboration with the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de Puerto Rico (International Iberoamerican University, UNIB), the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana de México (International Iberoamerican University of Mexico, UNINI Mexico), the Fundación Universitaria Internacional de Colombia (International University Foundation of Colombia, UNINCOL), the Universidade Internacional do Cuanza (International University of Cuanza, UNIC), and the Universidad de La Romana (University of La Romana, UNIROMANA).
The conference is free-of-charge and open to anyone interested in the topic. It will be broadcast live in each country where FUNIBER is present. Broadcast schedules are available at this link. Registration is required to participate:
