"Economical and Juridical Questions about Financing the Public Service Broadcasting in consideration of European Law" on the 8th May 1998
Due to an intensivation of the collaboration of the Institute for Broadcasting Economics and the Institute for Media Law, the implementation of collective scientific conferences, along the lines of the traditionally organized annual conference by the Institute for Media Law, were decided. The first of those common conferences took place on the 8th May 1998. The topic was: "Economical and Juridical Questions about Financing the Public Service Broadcasting in consideration of European Law". This topic is for both Institutes and their research activities of high importance. The conference participated about 230 people from different fields like science, politics and press.
