Within this scope, the congress aims to open debates across a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from production practices to ethical issues, representation politics to data security, the transformation of creativity to the methodological renewal of the communication discipline. The congress aims to bring together academicians and graduate students in an interdisciplinary environment of interaction.
