The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, on October 3 at 16:00 hours (CET), the webinar “Telecommunications: the backbone of the European Union.”
The session will be conducted by Miguel López Coronado and is composed of the Jean Monnet Chair “Telecommunications Policy in the EU and the Information Society” held by the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European Atlantic University) (UNEATLANTICO).
Telecommunications have become a vital aspect of modern society and involve all transmission and reception of signals of any nature, typically electromagnetic, containing signs, sounds, images, or in short, any type of information to be communicated over a certain distance. It accounts for a significant share of economic growth in employment and investment in Europe. Likewise, the development of the means of transmission has modified traditional ways of thinking and cultural patterns.
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 and open to all those interested in the subject and will be broadcast live in each country where FUNIBER is present. Retransmission schedules can be consulted at this link. To participate, registration is required:
