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

Thu Jun 02 13:28:55 GMT 2016


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.
