In September 2021, in addition to the annual GfM conference, the Department of Media, Society and Communication will also host the Media - Knowledge - Education Conference 2021: Ecological Crises and Ecology of Criticism. The event is planned in presence with online sessions. Therefore a free registration is absolutely necessary for participation! If the pandemic situation so requires, an online format will be used at short notice. The 3G rules as well as the rules specified by the University of Innsbruck apply to participation on site. You will be informed of these when you register or can be found on the homepage.

We are pleased to announce that the Department of Political Science will host the ECPR General Conference in 2022. Over 2,000 political scientists will meet for one week at the campus Universitaetsstrasse. It will be the first General Conference after 3 years that will again be held physically in presence. We are looking for up to 50 students to support us at the conference next year. If you are interested, we look forward to receiving an informal application to ecpr2022@uibk.ac.at. The current pandemic development and the chaotic vaccination strategy in Europe have already made a decision necessary to only hold the conference virtually - it is not possible to plan such a large event under these circumstances! We hope that this conference will be held physically in 2023 or 2024 at our university. We will inform you accordingly.
