The Department of Media, Culture and Creative Industries (MCCI), School 
of Communication and Creativity (SCC), City St George's, University of 
London (CSG) invites you to *MCCI Connect*: A Seminar Series Bridging 
Research, Innovation, Education, and Professional Practice!

*MCCI Connect* aims to foster connections between traditionally siloed 
areas, encouraging interdisciplinary and cross-sector dialogue. Our 
focus is emphasising integration and collaboration through these events 
which are organised by MCCI Research Lead, Dr Carolina Matos and 
supported by MCCI Presidential Fellow, Dr Devina Sarwatay.

These events are free and open to the public, with prior registration 
required for both in-person and online attendance. Light refreshments 
will be provided to in-person attendees. Attendees are encouraged to 
share their experiences on social media using the hashtag 
*#MCCIConnect* and *#CityStGSCC*.
