Don’t miss the opportunity to explore our Thematic Networks – communities of researchers and practitioners collaborating on key topics in public relations and strategic communication.
Each network connects EUPRERA members with shared interests to advance research, publications, events, and teaching initiatives. During the Congress, you can:
- Meet the network leaders and members at the Thematic Network Meetings on Thursday, September 17 (18.15-19.00) – check ConfTool for exact times and locations (if a network is not mentioned there, then the network meeting is taking place at a different time and place either during the Congress or online after it).
- Engage with network leaders and members throughout the Congress, not just during the meetings. Many networks also organise additional activities such as the Education Café and the Research Escalator Session – keep an eye on the programme for details.
