THE FOCUS
The ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2016 brings together members of the European research community to this summer school in order to debate contemporary issues in media, communication and cultural studies.

The summer school aims to provide a supportive international setting where doctoral students can present their ongoing work, receive feedback on their PhD-projects from international experts and meet students and academics from other countries, establishing valuable contacts for the future.
