ZeMKI at IAMCR 2025

The IAMCR (International Association for Media and Communication Research) will take place in Singapore from July 13 to 17, 2025. This year’s theme “Communicating Environmental Justice: Many Voices, One Planet” focuses on the central role of media and communication when it comes to making environmental justice visible and initiating social debates. The conference highlights the diversity of media perspectives and invites people to bring together different communicative approaches and voices – in order to make the dialouge about the future of our planet inclusive, polyphonic and effective.

The ZeMKI will be represented at the IAMCR 2025 with numerous contributions.
