WAN-IFRA is one of the partners (alongside a team of broadcasters, media companies and technology providers) working on the Content Personalisation Network CPN, a Horizon 2020 EU-funded project that is creating an innovative, transparent approach to personalise digital news content.

We launched the Content Personalisation Network project (CPN) over two years ago to develop a trustworthy solution for personalising digital news content. As the project reaches the end, we are delighted to invite media professionals interested in news personalisation to a webinar on Thursday 7 May at 3pm CET.

 Join us to hear industry leaders discuss questions such as:

●      What types of personalisation? What does personalisation mean for you?

●      Why personalisation? What do we want to achieve?

●      What are the effects in the current COVID-19 crisis?

●      What about privacy and transparency?

●      What are the challenges and how to overcome them?
