1 March 2012

BU’s bid success to host Media Conference

The Media School have just been informed that their bid to host the European Media Management Association (EMMA) Conference 2013 has been successful.

The bid team from BU’s Advances in Media Management (AiMM) research group were delighted with the news as the EMMA Conference is normally hosted by universities in European capital cities.

Dr John Oliver said, “The conference will provide a great opportunity to showcase BU and provide a unique opportunity to develop collaborative relationships with a number of universities spread across Europe”.

The European Media Management Education Association provides a forum for academics researching and teaching media management in higher education and industry training programmes in 24 European countries.

It is hoped the conference will take place in June 2013 in the Executive Business Centre.

Congratulations go to the bid team of Dr John Oliver, Dr Sukhpreet Singh, Dr Kris Erikson and Conor O’Kane.
