The Bundesnetzagentur (German Federal Network Agency) has appointed business informatics expert Professor Jan Krämer to its Specialist Group for Regulatory Issues (WAR). This independent panel of experts supports the agency in fundamental regulatory policy matters, including those relating to digital markets.
‘Digital networks, platforms and AI systems have become central infrastructures of our society. New European regulations such as the Digital Services Act and the AI Act place high demands on their implementation at national level. The Federal Network Agency plays a central role in this,’ explains Professor Jan Krämer. ‘I am delighted to be able to provide scientific advice to the Federal Network Agency and to contribute to ensuring that the regulation of these digital infrastructures is based on sound economic analyses.’
The WAR consists of scientists from various disciplines who examine the legal, economic and technical aspects of regulation and make their expertise available in publicly accessible statements. The specialist group provides scientifically sound analyses and recommendations that are important for the further development of the regulation of physical infrastructures in areas such as energy, telecommunications, postal services and transport – but increasingly also for digital infrastructures such as platforms and AI.
Expert in the regulation of digital markets
Professor Krämer, who holds the Chair of Internet and Telecommunications Business at the University of Passau, was appointed to the committee on 1 January 2026. Krämer's work focuses on the economic regulation of telecommunications markets, digital platforms and AI. In addition to the German Federal Network Agency, he also regularly advises the European Commission and other European authorities. He is Academic Co-Director of the Centre of Regulation in Europe (CERRE), a Brussels-based think tank.
International conference on platform research
At the University of Passau, he is co-spokesperson for the German Research Foundation-funded Research Training Group 2720 ‘Digital Platform Ecosystems’. This is the world's largest research group examining issues relating to digital platforms from an economic perspective. Every two years, the group brings together researchers from around the world who are conducting research on the platform economy. This year's conference, which will take place on 15–16 June at the University of Passau, will take a critical look at digital platform ecosystems, their governance and their influence.
