30.04.2026 Webinar "Lessons of Europe 2026" - Lesson 6 "From the AI Act to the Digital Omnibus: the European Union and the regulation of artificial intelligence"

On Thursday 30 April 2026, from 10.00 am to 11.30 am, the sixth webinar in the "Lessons of Europe" series will take place, titled "From the AI Act to the Digital Omnibus: the European Union and the regulation of artificial intelligence".
 
The lesson is coordinated by Elisabetta Lucertini, Europe Direct Emilia-Romagna, with contributions from Alessia Chiriatti, Institute of International Affairs, and Paola Menozzi, Liceo Classico "Francesco Petrarca" in Arezzo.
 
This session of "Lessons of Europe 2026" is dedicated to the decisions taken by the European Union on the subject of artificial intelligence, with a view to reflecting on current developments and the medium- to long-term prospects within this crucial field. In particular, the meeting aims to provide an overview of the ongoing changes in the European regulatory framework, from the AI Act, which came into force on 1 August 2024, to the "Omnibus Package" (aimed at simplifying the European Union’s regulatory framework), and on the significant implications and influence that the use of AI has on the European Union’s international relations.
 
The meeting will be held online from 10:00 to 11:30 and is free and open to all citizens, university and secondary school students, and journalists.
