In response to ECREA's invitation to sections to hold virtual pre-conference events around the 9th European Communications Conference, the Communications Law and Policy section is planning three two-hour long sessions in the run up to the Aarhus conference.
While we received already some very promising submissions, we decided to extend the deadline for submitting elevator pitches for these virtual sessions to 15 June 2022.
After opening comments by invited speakers from both media and communication policymaking and policy research, up to five section members will have the chance to present insights from their research or their cutting-edge ideas in 4-minute elevator pitches to kick off discussion. We welcome exploratory research findings, yet to be tested hypothesis, innovative policy ideas, calls to action in new research directions.
Please send your 300 words abstract to the section chair (s.broughton-micova@uea.ac.uk), indicating for which of the three sessions (detailed below) your input is intended in the subject line. Two slots per session will be ringfenced for early career researchers, pending sufficient applications.
