In the context of the 11th INCOM Chile Congress organized with the Faculty of Communication and Humanities of Universidad Diego Portales (UDP), pre-conferences for the annual event will be held, conceived as specialized academic spaces that delve into key issues in the field of social communication.
In this edition, the team of Fondecyt Project N°1230748 on Convergent Regulation will participate with a pre-conference entitled “Regulation of Digital Convergence: Scientific Evidence for Public Policy”. It will take place on Tuesday, November 4th from 08:30 am to 2:00 pm at the auditorium on the first floor of the UDP Faculty of Communication and Humanities (Vergara 240, Santiago).
The meeting seeks to open a specialized and rigorous dialogue about the regulation of digital convergence in communications based on the evidence generated by two research studies: Regular Fondecyt N°1230748 and the Transdisciplinary Digital Convergence Regulation Nucleus (VID-UChile).
The activity is organized by the Convergent Regulation team, led by Professor Chiara Sáez (Faculty of Communication and Image, Universidad de Chile), with the logistical collaboration of the UDP Faculty of Communication and Humanities.
