It is organized to advance knowledge on media and to educate young scholars, both PhD candidates and promising RMa students, in classical and cutting edge theories and methodologies in media studies, and to offer them an opportunity to start building a network.

In season 2, we will go through all of these skills and learn from the best (non-)academic experts.
