Science Communication Platform

Research - Design - Share

We explore the relationship between technology, culture and society. In addition to the projects we carry out with different institutions and organizations, we offer a collaborative space for academics, students and practitioners interested in media studies.

What does NETlab do?

Research

We study new communication technologies and digital communication ecosystems. In addition to academic publications, we carry out various national and international projects and organize scientific events.

Connect

By designing and publishing micro web pages and video interviews on https://netlab.media, we facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together scientists from a variety of fields and their respective work.

Train

In cooperation with universities, government agencies and non-governmental organizations, we organize trainings on the use of new media technologies and content production for the web ecosystem.

Design

We develop communication strategies for scientific projects. We also produce video interviews, training videos, multimedia content, new media documentaries, digital stories, data visualizations, animations and virtual reality content, as well as digitization of historical materials.

Databases

We believe in open science and the importance of using new digital tools effectively. For this reason, we provide databases for researchers and new media enthusiasts and develop digital tools that solve the problems encountered in information production and sharing.

We facilitate access to information by developing projects on mapping digital ecosystems and data visualization. We follow and announce new media events and provide the opportunity to review past scientific events by creating an open archive.
