Conference

The theme of Etmaal 2027 is:

Breaking boundaries, building synergies -

Transdisciplinary research in communication science. 

Complex societal challenges require new ways of connecting different academic disciplines and stakeholders outside of the academic field. By fostering collaboration and mutual learning, transdisciplinary research strengthens both innovation and societal relevance.

During Etmaal 2027, we will learn about existing examples of transdisciplinary research in communication science and explore how we can improve this approach in our research practice. Therefore we have included the option of presenting your research in interdisciplinary sessions, organized around features such as similar research methods, or similar target audiences. We also have added a full-on plenary poster session to the conference programme, where you can discuss your research interactively with other scholars across divisions and fields. There will be an award for the best poster.
