We provide reliable and independent findings on current challenges facing the media society and actively contribute to the public discourse.

 The diversity of our research spectrum, our strong international network and our curiosity enable us to tackle new questions and find answers to them.

Thanks to the breadth of our study programs and our dedicated teaching, we prepare our graduates for a career in a wide range of current and future professional fields.

We offer young researchers an excellent research environment that enables them to pursue a successful career in academia and beyond.

Openness, responsibility, historical awareness and a commitment to diversity characterize our daily work.
