The new course will provide detailed information on data boxes, including all aspects of their operation and their legal framework. For example, participants will learn about the responsibilities connected with data boxes, delivery periods, what to do in the case that a message for which they are not the intended recipient is received and how to handle data reports in the long-term horizon.
