Abstract :
[en] In the line of women who have helped build Europe, Luxembourg’s Viviane Reding (born on 27 April 1951 in Esch-sur-Alzette) is a key figure. After her studies, including a PhD in Human Science at Paris Sorbonne University, she worked as a journalist at the Luxemburger Wort for more than 20 years and chaired the Luxembourg Union of Journalists. She joined the Christian Social People’s Party (CSV) and was elected to the Luxembourg Chamber of Deputies (1979-1989 and since 2018), where she particularly focused on social affairs and international relations, before becoming a Member of the European Parliament for three terms (1981-1999 and 2014-2018) and turning her attention to social affairs, employment and the working environment, as well as civil liberties.

Commentary :
This conference aims to examine the relationship between
the Internet, EU regulation and market integration from
a historical perspective.
The speakers will analyse how the development of the
Internet has facilitated market integration while also
creating major regulatory challenges at the EU level,
e.g. peering between ISPs, the taxation of electronic
commerce, data protection issues, etc. We are also
honoured to welcome Dr Viviane Reding, who will
speak about her action as European Commissioner for
Information Society and Media (2004-2010).
Speakers:
• Kevin Ackermann (Georgetown University),
• Elena Danescu (C²DH, University of Luxembourg),
• Stefan Gadringer (University of Salzburg),
• Christian Henrich-Franke (University of Siegen),
• Francis McGowan (University of Sussex)
• Dr Viviane Reding, Member of the Chamber of
Deputies of Luxembourg (since 2018) and Member
of the European Commission (1999-2014) – the first
European Commissioner with responsibility for the
Information Society and Media.
