The XIII Congress of SOPCOM, the Portuguese Association of Communication Sciences, was held between January 24th and 26th. Under the motto “Communication, Cultures and Communities”, the event took place at the University of Minho.
During the three days of one of the most relevant congresses at the national level, several CICANT researchers, as well as Lusófona University masters and PhD students, were present. The researchers presented the results of various ongoing investigations, including work resulting from a number of national and international projects. The presentations contributed to the discussion and joint reflection on the field of Communication Sciences.
Working groups elections
Elections for the two-year terms for the different working groups were also held during the congress. Among the coordinators and deputy coordinators elected were integrated researchers Ana Oliveira (Deputy Coordinator WG Communication and Education), Pedro Costa (Deputy Coordinator WG Intercultural Communication) and Maria José Brites (Deputy Coordinator Publics and Audiences). Alongside them, collaborator researcher Carla Martins took on the role of deputy coordinator of the Gender and Sexualities WG and research grant holder and master's student in Media and Information Literacy and Digital Citizenship Margarida Maneta took on the role of deputy coordinator of the Young Researchers WG.
