The MEDIATIZED EU project approaches its final months and holds its Capstone Conference on September 10, 2024, in Brussels and Online. The Conference is titled Mediatized Discourses on Europeanisation: A Changing Landscape and it showcases the key results of our research on mediatized representations of the EU. Check our programme below and join us in Brussels or Online, using the registration link.
The conference brings together engaging speakers and top experts on Europeanisation, media freedom and democratic transformations in Europe.
At the conference, our research teams from Belgium, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Ireland, Portugal and Spain will report on the findings of wide-ranging media analysis, in-depth interviews with political and media elites, and public opinion surveys.
The project team will also provide evidence-based recommendations for EU policymakers on how to ensure a healthy, pluralist and constructive debate about Europeanisation in the European media and public sphere.
Join us for a constructive conversation about our results and their relevance in light of the challenges the European project is facing today. We will be joined by excellent keynote speakers and panellists who will reflect on the changing European landscape.
