Navigate regulatory changes shaping Europe's online media landscape and gain a practical understanding of how EU rules and national approaches are evolving for media services and platforms.
Europe's media landscape is entering a new phase of regulatory transformation. That's why understanding how rules are applied in practice, how national approaches diverge or converge, and how reforms may rebalance obligations between traditional media services and platforms has become essential.
Whether you're seeking a comprehensive overview or wishing to deepen your understanding of specific regulatory development affecting the media regulation in Europe, this online course is designed to help you understand how current enforcement and upcoming reforms are shaping the sector.
The course is divided in four modules (4 hours each):
- Module 1 - Child protection online: why are member states going their own way? - 23 April 2026
- Module 2 - Prominence of media services of general interest in Europe - 12 May 2026
- Module 3 - What's in the next reform of the AVMSD? - 26 November 2026
- Module 4 - EU rules on audience measurement: implementation progress and challenges - 3 December 2026
