Lunch & Learn webinar on the PROMISE Project

On 30 November 2026, EPRA is facilitating a 1-hour Lunch & Learn webinar on the PROMISE project's first insights

Entitled Mapping the Landscape of Social Media Regulation Across Europe and the Anglosphere: First Insights from the PROMISE Project, this session will be led by researchers Prof. Dr. Adrian Meier-Ernst and Eva Ziegltrum, M.A. from the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in Nürnberg, Germany.

What is it about?
Social media regulation aimed at protecting youth mental health is receiving increasing attention, yet policy proposals are fragmented and vary considerably. In the PROMISE project, we map this heterogeneous regulatory landscape across Europe and the Anglosphere through a systematic literature review of academic research and policy-informing documents from, for example, governmental institutions, think tanks, or NGOs. The project aims to develop a comprehensive, evidence-informed toolbox of regulatory approaches to improve social media for youth and prevent harms to their mental health. As a preliminary result, the AUD framework maps out interventions targeting social media Access, Usage, and Design, and differentiates various specific measures proposed along these three overarching approaches to social media regulation.
