The panel is dedicated to outlining the changes in funding for research in media and communications in recent years. It will assess two current trends,
the first being the diminishing funding for research projects in social sciences and humanities at national level and the push towards the level of European
funding. The second interrelated trend indicates a move towards funding of applied, industry-focused research and projects conducted in close partnership
with media industries at the expense of more critical, theoretical or long(er)-termwork. The round table will bring together scholars from different Europe‑
an regions and presents the initial findings of work undertaken by a task force established by European Communication Research and Education Association
(ECREA) to produce a systematic mapping of the changing European landscape of funding for research in media and communications. Task Force Members:
Claudia Alvares (ECREA President; Lusofona University), Kirsten Drotner (University of Southern Denmark), Peter Golding (Task Force Coordinator, Newcastle
University), Christina Holz-Bacha (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg), Paolo Mancini (University of Perugia), Helena Sousa (University of Minho)
