Scientific conferences are an integral part of scientific enterprises. In addition to specific series of publications, international conferences and symposia are the most important forum for scientific exchange. Professors and academic staff at Macromedia University participate actively in this discourse on science. They use the opportunities to present and discuss their own research findings at specialist conferences. At the same time, Macromedia University actively hosts and organizes conferences in media and communications science, media management, sports management and economics, design thinking and innovation management.
As part of an international symposium, Macromedia University of Applied Sciences addressed questions about the future of higher education in December 2020. What are the short-term answers to COVID-19 and what are the longer-term perspectives? Which didactics best strengthen students' future competences? What role will technology companies play in education and what about the competitiveness of European education systems?
