Media education is a highly research-intensive discipline. Continuous bursts of innovation and further development in media and technologies create a variety of opportunities to explore the interrelationship between people, media and technologies. Research can be project-related via funding institutions or collaborations, as well as a field of individual research activities and professionalisation, which is often disseminated in publications and lectures. Project and cooperation-related research activities are summarised on these research pages. Information on publications, publications and other research-related activities can be found on the websites of the professors and employees.
