Dear Metaverse enthusiasts,
With the new academic year upon us, the MetaverseUA Chair is back in action with a brand-new webinar series, called «Thursdays in the Metaverse». This exciting lineup will offer a deep dive into cutting-edge virtual world topics led by leading experts.
The webinars will spark critical discussions on the intersection of virtual environments and real-world legal frameworks, by addressing key topics such as the European Union’s current approach to regulating the metaverse, the implications arising from the use of biometric and body-based data, or the challenges posed by NFTs in digital environments.
Here’s what’s on the agenda:
