The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, on January 23 at 4:00 p.m. (CET), the webinar: “The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). Internet Regulation”.
The session will be taught by Miguel López Coronado and Juan Luis Redondo Maíllo 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 Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) was established in 2009 and became operational in 2010. Its main objective is to ensure the consistent application of telecommunications standards throughout the European Union and to provide technical expertise to national regulators and EU institutions. It also promotes the availability and adoption of high-capacity connectivity and fosters competition in the electronic communications sector.
During the session, emphasis will also be placed on Internet regulation, focusing on the origins and regulation of net neutrality and, eventually, digital neutrality.
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:
