RESEARCH FORUMS

In cooperation with NORDICOM and The International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media (at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden), the Summit organizes four Research Forums. The aim of each Forum is to provide a space for information and dialogue between the different groups of delegates at the Summit and for researchers to reach out to interested parties in and outside the research community.

The Research Forum offers a unique opportunity for delegates to gain knowledge of recent research and ongoing projects on important issues in different parts of the world. Each Forum will be led by a moderator and several panellists will give short presentations of their recent work and experiences. The four themes are in the right column.

On the last day of the Summit the moderators will also present highlights from the Research Forums in the concluding plenary session. For more information about NORDICOM and the International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media, please follow the link below.
