to enhance the awareness of the importance of freedom and pluralism of 
the media, to contribute to its protection and promotion and to develop 
new ideas among academics, policy makers, regulators, market 
stakeholders, journalists, and all other directly involved professionals 
who take part in the public debate. The Centre is directed by Professor 
Pier Luigi Parcu and its residential research team is composed of 
experts in the following areas: legal studies, new media policies, media 
markets and economics, political science and political communications.

>> The Centre’s activities include Research (interdisciplinary studies, 
conducted by the residential research team), Debate (conferences and 
seminars held by high-profile academics and different stakeholders), 
Training (workshops and annual Summer School for Journalists and Media 
Practitioners), and Dissemination of results and outcomes (publication 
of working papers, policy studies and reports).
