The conference puts together experts from small European territories which are at different stages in imposing the obligations for streaming platforms to invest in the local content. Some territories like Flanders have been engaged in this process since 2018 and have even revised the initial investment obligations to improve them. Some countries like Portugal, Croatia and Denmark, have only recently introduced the obligations, and are waiting for the first implementation results. The Czech Republic is still negotiating, while several countries like Sweden and Austria are only about to start the journey. What can these small territories learn from each other? Can they help each other avoid some common pitfalls?

The conference is organized by the Center for Modern European Studies (University of Copenhagen) in collaboration with the National Film School of Denmark, MEDIA Desk Denmark and the research project “Creativity and adaptability as conditions for the success of Europe in an Interrelated word” (KREAS).
