European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA)

Thematic domains:

• Research and Innovation

  ECREA promotes research of its members through ECREA Book Series. The Book Series promotes collaborative research efforts, publishing edited volumes which make significant contributions to theory, research, practice and policy on a diversity of topics and areas within the field of media and communication studies.

• Education

  ECREA is a learned society of communication scholars devoted to development of communication research and higher education in Europe. It is organised into 25 thematic sections, each developing a distinctive field of communication studies, 4 Temporary Working Groups which focus on emerging or underrepresented fields within media and communication studies, and 3 permanent Networks representing specific socio-demographic categories of scholars.

• Youth

  One of the aims of the ECREA is to build a community of communication scholars by providing spaces for exchange of ideas, theoretical insights, research findings, research methodologies and educational practices.

• Underrepresented Groups and Gender Equality

  ECREA ensures that supported scholarly community is built on principles of equality and inclusiveness, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation of its members. One of the aims is to provide support for underprivileged groups of scholars.
