Call for Submissions
Mobile Studies Congress 2022
Go Mobile, Stay Innovative
9-11 December 2022
(Virtual, Hybrid, and In-Person)
University of Nottingham Ningbo China
Mobile media, mobility, mobile creative arts and mobile communication 
have significantly shaped the way we live, the way we work, and the way 
we stay innovative. Inspired by their impact, the third edition of the 
Mobile Studies Congress will reflect on the innovative approaches to 
mobile studies in different areas, including mobile government, mobile 
journalism, mobile learning, mobile healthcare, mobile health 
communication, mobile advertising, mobile marketing, and mobile 
experience. Furthermore, it will exchange innovation experience and 
expertise in screen storytelling, community engagement and novel 
production formats such as smartphone filmmaking, vertical video, mobile 
social networks, mobile live streaming, micro movies, and mobile XR.
As much of our world has gone mobile, it is vital to examine the 
changes, challenges, and chances that define mobile media, mobility, 
mobile creativity and mobile communication in 2022 and the near future. 
Developments towards industry 4.0 (including analytics, algorithms and 
automation) and ongoing digital transformations continue to disrupt 
creative industries to produce new business models, production 
environments and distribution channels. Innovative technologies and 
mobile creativity allow various communities to create artistic and 
cultural productions globally and forge new synergies among academic 
disciplines.
At the intersection of emerging media, the potential of technology and 
new forms of collaboration, Mobile Studies Congress 2022 will provide an 
inclusive, interdisciplinary, international, and open forum for 
discussion and development of mobile studies. The 11th International 
Mobile Innovation Screening & Smartphone Film Festival will be presented 
as part of the event.
This congress will seek further efforts in leveraging mobile media, 
mobility, mobile creativity and mobile communication to stay innovative 
through its panels, symposia, smartphone film festivals, industry 
showcases, competitions, journal editor forums, and workshops.
