The Research and Teaching Unit Communication Management at the Institute of Communication and Media Studies at the University of Leipzig is pleased to present an overview of the activities of the past year in its new Annual Report Annual Report 2020 (PDF).
The scientific output of the team manifests itself in 100 publications, including five books, 54 contributions in journals or anthologies, 15 study reports as well as 23 contributions at peer-reviewed conferences. It is worth mentioning that three alumni of the department have been appointed to professorships in Germany, Austria and Denmark in recent months. In addition, three awards for the best Master's theses in Germany and Europe and the best German-language dissertation on PR/organisational communication went to Leipzig. This spurs us on to further expand research-based education at an international level. Among other things, this will be achieved by further developing the highly popular Master's programme in Communication Management, which will include more English-language modules and new topics from autumn 2021.
We would like to thank you very much for your interest in our work as well as for the cooperation in the past year. The successes listed would not have been possible without the diverse support of project partners from business and academia, scholarship providers, lecturers, associations, foundations and alumni. We look forward to continued good cooperation and exciting new contacts.
