*ISMI 2017*
The sixth annual International Symposium on Media Innovations (ISMI)
16-17 October 2017 - Tallinn University, Estonia. The symposium is organised by Tallinn University Centre of Excellence in Media Innovation and Digital Culture (MEDIT).

The symposium will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, immediately before the AoIR 2017 conference in another Estonian town Tartu (18-21 October).

The symposium will unite academic researchers and industry representatives to discuss how innovations happen in contemporary media. The symposium is oriented both towards theorisation of media innovation phenomena as well learning about evidence, innovation strategies and considering their policy implications.

The focus of ISMI is on the dynamics of change in all kinds of contemporary media. We aim to explore how the complex interrelationships between changing technologies, economic environment, modes of usage or policy imperatives bring about the transformation of the media industry. The symposium will work towars a dialogue between media industries and academic media resereach.
