We take great pleasure in announcing that the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in the beautiful city of Odense will serve as the host institution for the NordMedia Conference in 2025.

The NordMedia25 conference is set to take place on 13–15 August 2025, with a pre-conference for doctoral students scheduled for 12 August.

This conference is being co-hosted by Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). There will be a local organizing committee and a Nordic academic committee that consists of the representatives of the national research associations from Sweden (FSMK), Finland (Mevi), Norway (NML), Denmark (SmiD) and Nordicom.

NordMedia is a biennial conference for Nordic media and communication researchers organized by the national Nordic media researcher associations together with Nordicom. It was organized in 1973 for the first time.

Set to debut at the NordMedia25 conference in Odense next year, the group will explore the hidden costs of digital technologies – rising energy consumption, dwindling natural resources, and mounting e-waste – while addressing the pressing issue of social accountability in an era of rapid technological progress.
