Webinar VI: Interoperability in the Metaverse

On the 4th December, the Spanish & Portuguese Chapter of Licensing Executive Society International (LESI) and the Chair for the responsible development of the Metaverse organized the Webinar “Interoperability in the Metaverse”.

Interoperability is usually mentioned as an attribute of the Metaverse. Thanks to this, continuity of avatars, digital goods, and payments methods through different interactive virtual world platforms is ensured. However, for the time being such interoperable virtual worlds are a minority. The present webinar discussed the technical, economic and regulatory challenges that need to be overcome to achieve such objective. For this purpose two roundtables were held.

In the first one, Rafael ESPINOSA DE LOS MONTEROS IGLESIAS (CEO of Esports Bureau), Antonio PITA LOZANO (Global Metaverse Manager. Telefonica) and Carlos MUÑOZ FERRANDIS (Co-Founder & CEO at ALINIA) debated about the technical aspects of interoperability.

In the second one, José Luis AMAT REINOSO (Lawyer of CECA MAGAN Abogados), Irene KITSARA (European Standardization Initiatives Director at IEEE) and Begoña GONZALEZ OTERO (Senior Research Fellow at Max Planck Institute) explained the regulatory challenges of interoperability.

The roundtables were moderated by Luis Ignacio VICENTE (Strategic Council at PONS IP) and David FUENTES (Lawyer at Bird & Bird). You can access the recording here:
