STUDENT CONFERENCE PROGRAM

 The conference will explore politics and media in Europe, East Asia and the United States with a particular focus on:

1. The relationship between the media (social media and new media) and politics in different geographical areas.

2. The influence of Pop Culture in the political promotion and construction of a country's international image.

The Conference will consist of two days in which students will be giving presentations on the selected topic. Participating students will be involved in a roundtable session aimed at setting a critical, collective discussion on selected topics on the relationship between politics and media in Europe, East Asia and United States, as well as on the event itself.

The Conference bringing together students from three different institutions, aims to act as a framework for students to deepen their academic skills, exchange views, and understand different perspectives on the subjects throughout the initiative.  We envision this initiative as an opportunity for students to establish a network and create new transnational relations that can be further consolidated in the forthcoming years.
