CICANT's MeDeMAP project was featured at the 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (ICA), held from 12–16 June 2025. This international event brought together leading scholars and professionals under the theme “Disrupting and Consolidating Communication Research”, with a focus on the evolving challenges and opportunities within the field.
MeDeMAP’s presence at ICA 2025 included a dedicated panel, alongside three additional paper presentations, highlighting the breadth and depth of the project’s contributions to communication studies.
A standout moment was the recognition of Maren Beaufort and Josef Seethaler, who received a prestigious Top Paper Award for their work developed within the MeDeMAP framework. This distinction underscores the academic excellence and impact of the project’s research outputs.
Participation in such a high-profile international conference reinforces MeDeMAP’s growing relevance within the global research community and reflects CICANT’s continued commitment to mapping media for future democracies.
