About

Governments around the world are seeking to regulate online platforms. Success will depend on the efficacy of oversight – amongst other things – which is particularly challenging given the key characteristics of the platform economy, such as the global reach of large online platforms, information asymmetry, complex business models and impact on fundamental rights.

On Tuesday 23 February at 16:00 CET, CERRE will launch a new issue paper, “New ways of oversight for the digital economy”. We are hosting a public webinar to present this paper, and to discuss how public authorities can oversee online platforms’ application of rules in the platform economy and encourage cooperative relationships with online platforms to achieve public interest objectives. Panellists, including key industry players, regulatory authorities and international organisations, will also consider alternative models of oversight of the platform economy.

The debate will be moderated by CERRE Tech, Media, Telecom and Mobility Director Lara Natale. This event is open to all and will be livestreamed on this page and the CERRE YouTube channel.  Viewers can ask questions via Sli.do using the hashtag #CERREdigital.
