There is a two-day international workshop on 16 to 17 January 2025 including invited scholars in a combination of thematic panels and interactive workshops that addresses work in progress on the topic of eco media footprints. The workshop explores analytical and empirical tools to reboot research for sustainable media.

A range of international scholars in media and communications studies, cultural studies, gender, science and technology studies, will share academic work in progress to an intended audience of postgraduate, early career and senior researchers, with the goal to generate academic publications on the future trajectories for eco media footprints and sustainable digitalization.
