ECREA
| The European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) is the learned society for communication scholars across Europe and beyond. Individuals, institutions and associations have chosen to become members of ECREA to join a large community devoted to the development and the quality of communication research and higher education in Europe. All activities within ECREA are developed and organised to serve the community, enhance the quality of communication research and higher education, provide opportunities to exchange, share and collaborate, and to promote the interests of communication scholars. More importantly, ECREA is a bottom up organisation where various projects and ideas are emerging and materialising, driven by the energy and enthusiasm of the members. |
Conference Host: Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research at the University of Hamburg |
| The Hans Bredow Institute was founded as an independent non–profit organisation by the NWDR in co–operation with the University of Hamburg in 1950. As an Institute at the University of Hamburg it is legally independent, however, there are various content–oriented as well as organisational cooperation undertakings with the University. The Institute emphasises its role as an independent observer and combines sociological, legal, economic and pedagogical approaches, because it strongly believes that contemporary problems of media development call for an interdisciplinary and a cross-national comparative perspective. Cooperation and constant exchange with the different actors in the media sphere are basic values for the Institute's research. Particularly important is the transfer of results via publications and conferences in direction of business practice, politics and the public sphere. |
