The IAMCR (International Association for Media and Communication Research) will take place in Singapore from July 13 to 17, 2025. This year’s theme “Communicating Environmental Justice: Many Voices, One Planet” focuses on the central role of media and communication when it comes to making environmental justice visible and initiating social debates.
