University of Leipzig, Germany

29–30 September 2025

In its 50th year, Communications: The European Journal of Communication Research invites to reconsider what European communication research is – and what it can be. From its start in 1975, the journal’s mission has been to serve as a forum for scholarship and academic debate in the field of communication science and research from a European perspective. But what is in fact a European perspective?

The conference program includes:

- Keynotes by Keith Roe, Maria Kyriakidou, Göran Bolin & Bernie Hogan

- A reflection by Friedrich Krotz

- Panels on comparative traditions, crisis narratives, AI & creativity, and digital infrastructures

Further information and the full program are available online.
