Programme
Several of the Nordic countries have launched recommendations for digital media use among children. The DSA- the EU regulation on a single market for digital services was introduced in 2024, but has it had any impact? During the day we will share knowledge and experiences and good practices as well as discuss the way forward.
The meeting with panel debates and presentations is moderated by Parisa Amiri, and the following topics are on the agenda:
- What are the commercial determinants of digital health?
- How does digital media affect health among children and youth?
- What is being done at country level?
- How are digital media regulated within the EU and what is the way forward?
- Bridging the gap between knowledge and compliance– future directions on Nordic and EU level.
The first four parts of the meeting is broadcasted (link to be announced), and the last part is only for those attending the whole meeting in person.
