The idea, backed by the UPF, sets out to promote collective research in the communication sector

Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), as well as a variety of companies from the communication sector, including GRUP MEDIAPRO, have teamed up to launch the “The Futures of Communication” professorship.

Backed by the Communication Faculty at the university, the project sets out to bring together the different players in the communication sector (both public as well as private) to promote collective research in the field of communication, taking stock of the current scenarios and the possible future lines of research and applying them for the benefit of society as a whole.

The Professorship will study on a permanent and continuous basis the present and future of processes of social communication (creation, production, editing, distribution…), across a whole range of formats and with a wide lens which cuts through traditional media concepts. Other lines of research are set to include measurement tools, big data in the media and new technologies  (immersive , metaverse, artificial intelligence, blockchain…) and how they’ll affect content and consumption. In addition, it sets out to promote debate about the future of communication to help universities and training organizations to keep their programs up-to-date with all the latest trends.

The project features companies and high-profile institutions in the sector such as GRUP MEDIAPRO, Betevé, Ara, the Catalan Audiovisual Cluster and Eurecat, among others.
