The Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana (International Iberoamerican University) (UNIB) organizes on October 17 at 4:00 p.m. (CET) the “The origins of telecommunications policies (1969-1984)” webinar.
The session will be provided by Miguel López Coronado 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 decision of the Hague Summit in 1969 to tackle new policies, with the aim of creating a European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), generated the need to act in the field of new information technologies, starting in the mid-1960s, with the first actions dating back to 1967 and the first proposals from the European Commission in 1980.
The event is held in collaboration with the Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana (International Iberoamerican University) (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).
