This workshop, organized by the Digital Culture and Communication section of ECREA,the European Communication Research and Education Association, supported and hosted by this Research Centre, will bring together researchers from all over Europe. The aim of the day is to explore different traditions of new media investigation/theorization within Europe – and to explore ways in which they may usefully be placed in dialogue with each other. In addition workshop attendees will explore possible future activities that may be organized through the ECREA structure – including potential collaboration via European funding (FP7).
