[ecrea] International workshop “Audiovisual Diversity on the Internet: Economics and Policy”

The international workshop Audiovisual diversity on the Internet: 
economics and policy will be held on 3-4 November 2016 at the Faculty of 
Humanities, Communication and Documentation (Getafe campus) of Carlos 
III University of Madrid (UC3M).
This event aims to reflect on the diversity of the audiovisual industry 
within the digital landscape, with special attention not only to 
powerful intermediaries who have a decisive role in digital networks but 
also to small and medium independent agents (creators, producers, 
distributors). It will also examine the implementation of the Convention 
on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions 
adopted by the UNESCO ten years ago and ratified by 140 countries and 
the European Union.
The workshop is organized around four panels that focus on the 
governance of international trade in goods and audiovisual services, the 
challenges that policies of promotion and protection of the diversity of 
the audiovisual industry on the Internet must face, the mapping of 
agents and best practices online, and the international cooperation in 
cultural matters. In addition, there will be two sessions for the 
presentation of papers selected by the Scientific Committee (see call 
for papers).


The Scientific Committee of the international workshop Audiovisual 
diversity on the Internet: economics and policy welcomes abstracts that 
deal with topics such as:


– Diversity in the digital audiovisual industries: cinema, radio, 
television, music and / or video games.

– Mapping the agents of the audiovisual industry on the Internet as well 
as their practices.

– Public policies, audiovisual industries and cultural diversity.

– Intellectual property rights and copyright, and audiovisual diversity.

– Measurement and statistics for diversity: indicators in the digital 
context.

– The role of civil society in promoting audiovisual diversity on line.

– International cooperation networks and diversity in the audiovisual field.

– The implementation and adaptation of the ‘Convention on the Protection 
and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions’ (UNESCO, 2005) 
to the digital era.
