The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, on January 16 at 4:00 p.m. (CET), the webinar: “New Aspects of Electronic Telecommunications Policy: Connecting Europe”
The session will be taught by Miguel López Coronado and Senén Barro 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 European Commission, Parliament, and Council have again allocated a budget to the CEF with an amount of €33.7 billion for the 2021-2027 period of which €2 billion would be allocated to telecommunications infrastructure to promote the deployment and adoption of 5G networks.
