As NordMedia25 approaches, we invite proposals for new Temporary Working Groups (TWGs) and applications from existing TWGs aiming to transition into Divisions. The conference will be held in Odense, Denmark, from 13-15 August 2025.
Call for Temporary Working Groups
With NordMedia2025, themed “Living Imaginable Futures,”, less than a year away, it is time to propose Temporary Working Groups (TWGs). Please note that any TWGs that participated in the 2023 conference in Bergen, and wish to continue, must reapply.
Application Process for TWGs:
- TWG Description: Submit a short text (maximum 300 words) outlining the primary objective of the TWG, its scope, and its relevance within the field. Additionally, provide a rationale for why your TWG should be included in the NordMedia Conference, emphasising its distinction from existing divisions.
- Presentation Text: Provide a brief presentation text (maximum 200 words) detailing the aim of the TWG and your interpretation of the conference theme. This text will be used on the conference website and in the call for abstracts.
For reference, you may review the presentation of divisions and TWGs from the previous conference by visiting the Bergen conference site.
Interested in Transitioning Your TWG to a Division?
Temporary Working Groups that wish to transition into a formal Division are also encouraged to submit an application. The application should include the following information:
- Participation in NordMedia Conferences: Detail the number of NordMedia conferences in which your TWG has participated.
- Membership Details: Provide the current number of members in your TWG.
- Activities and Rationale for Transition: Briefly describe the activities your TWG has been engaged in since its inception and explain the reasons behind your desire to transition into a Division.
The deadline for submitting applications for both new TWGs and existing TWGs seeking to transition into Divisions is 4 October. Please send your application to Susana Tosca. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Applications will be evaluated by the national representatives, local chairs, and Nordicom. Applicants can expect to receive a decision in the second half of October.
