Sectoral Challenges in the Digital Economy
6 WEEK ONLINE COURSE
6 WEEK ONLINE COURSE
Digitalisation has brought several profound changes to a number of markets across all sectors of the economy. Our ‘Sectoral Challenges in the Digital Economy’ online course adopts a multi-disciplinary (mainly legal and economic) approach to provide you with expert insights into the challenges posed by the digital economy in a selected set of sectors, which constitute a core economic activity of Big Tech. Over six weeks, you will learn about competition and regulatory responses that have been and are being adopted by competition and regulatory authorities across a different set of jurisdictions with a focus on:
Sector-focused weeks will be preceded by an introductory week (Week 1, 31 May-4 June), during which you will cover, at your own pace, the fundamentals of digital markets.
Each weekly module consists of dedicated reading materials, self-evaluation assessments, discussions, complementary mini-video lectures and an interactive live class. Recordings will be available shortly after each live class. Throughout the duration of the course, participants will be able to interact with each other and as well as with the instructors. At the end of the course, individual feedback will be provided to those participants who deliver the final assignment, i.e. short essay on a choice of topics related to the weekly modules, which represents a requirement for obtaining the Level 2 Certificate.
The online course is delivered on an online platform where you can meet and interact with academics, who are outstanding experts in their field.
The course is organised by the Florence School of Regulation Communications and Media (FSR C&M), and the Florence Competition Programme (FCP), two programmes based at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) of the European University Institute (EUI). These programmes provide state-of-the-art training for practitioners, carry out analytical and empirical research, and promote informed discussions on key policy issues in regulation and competition. Their flagship activity is the Joint Annual Training “Competition & Regulation for the Digital Era”.
This course represents the Annual Training’s third and last block of the 2020/2021 academic year.
Participants are invited to attend the Florence Competition Summer Conference, an event aimed at debating the growing interaction of competition policy and sector regulation in relation to the remedies imposed on digital platforms. The Conference will take place on June 24th-25th; it will be broadcast via Zoom, with the only exception of the last session. Participation is free of charge.
Participants are invited to attend the workshop on Collaborative Regulation in the Digital Economy. The event aims at discussing institutional challenges raised by the growing interaction of competition policy and regulation in relation to digital platforms. The Workshop will take place on July 8th and broadcast via Zoom.
