The ECREA Ukraine Task Force, in collaboration with the Ukrainian Institute for Media and Communication, invites researchers in media, communication, and related fields to two practical webinars on submitting successful abstracts for conferences. The webinars will take place on December 12, 2025 and January 5, 2026 and will be led by Roman Horbyk, Research Lecturer at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), Director of the WarDS Lab, Visiting Researcher at Uppsala University (Sweden), and Chair of the ECREA Ukraine Task Force.
These webinars are designed to help prepare successful submissions and get accepted to international conferences in Europe. In particular, they will prepare you for submitting to ECREA 2026 in Brno, Czech Republic (September 2026).
