Webinar: “Internet services under platforms: Digital Markets Act (DMA)”

The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) will organize, on March 12 at 4:00 p.m. (CET), the webinar: “Internet services under platforms: Digital Markets Act (DMA)”

The session will be taught by Miguel López Coronado and Pilar Rodríguez Pita 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).

Today, there are large online platforms that act as “gatekeepers” in digital markets. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a landmark regulation introduced by the European Commission (EC) and will come into force on March 6, 2024.  This law aims to ensure that these platforms behave fairly online. Together with the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act is one of the cornerstones of the European digital strategy.

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 on this link. Registration is required to participate:
