Marma Hotel, Maltepe University, Istanbul

Call for papers
Communication has been playing a crucial and central role in the 
contemporary world which can be characterised as global, mobile and 
interactive. Today’s individuals cross international borders more than 
ever both in the online and offline spheres for purposes ranging from 
leisure to immigration. Likewise, businesses carry out  geographically 
dispersed operations all around the globe with a growing  percentage of 
mobilized workforce. Communication offers a key strength  for 
facilitating and enhancing all these encounters as it provides the means 
by which orientation, cooperation,  collaboration and integration can be 
achieved and maintained.

The 2017 edition of the International Communications Students Congress 
(ICSC 2017) will focus on the main theme of “Communication Matters: 
Globalisation, Mobility and Integration”.

We welcome submissions for individual papers and panel proposals

 and posters that should be addressing, but not limited to, the 
following topics:
·         Communication and technology as a driver of globalisation
·         Social media and intercultural communication
·         International business, fragmented communication and 
communication tools for collaboration and cooperation
