Panel 18: Additional workshops on infrastructures of European communication research and
education
In addition to the panels organised by the 17 sections there will be a series of
workshops, which provide opportunities for discussions on specific aspects of the
European scientific community, its collaboration across Europe, and its infrastructures.
Thus, we try to take the opportunity of many ECREA members being at one place to have a
dense discussion on the core issues of ECREA’s work. Most of the proposed workshops
correspond to specific ob-jectives and tasks of ECREA. The preliminary list of workshops
includes the following topics:
- Networking European communication associations
- Scholarly journals for European communication research
- Transnational Bachelor and Master Programmes in communications in Europe
- Strategies for Young Researchers in Europe
- The situation of women in European communication research
- Communication Research in Central and Eastern Europe

- Quality in Communication Research
- Mapping European Communication Research
