The Institute for Intellectual Property and Market Law (IFIM) in association with the research panel for Media Law at SCCL invites you to a seminar on:
Recent and Upcoming EU Tech and Media Freedom Regulation
–To Brussels and Beyond
Thursday, 25th May 2023, 16:00 – 18:30
Over the past few years, the European Union legislature has adopted several landmark pieces of legislation that have had a profound impact on the media and tech sector, as well as individual Member States (and, due to the ‘Brussels Effect’, non-EU countries). They include, for example, the General Data Protection Regulation, the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the SatCab II Directive, the Digital Services Act, and the Digital Markets Act. Currently, Sweden holds the Presidency of the Council. During this period, additional key legislation like the Data Act, Al Act, and the European Media Freedom Act are being negotiated.
Join us and our experts from both academia and the Swedish Government for an afternoon of discussions devoted to evaluating both the current state of the law and anticipating what the future will hold. You can join us in person or follow the discussion online.
