71st Annual DGPuK Conference

16 Mar 2026

From March 18 to 20, the German communication science community convenes in Dortmund. The IfKW will be well represented with numerous contributions.

The role of AI in science communication, older adults' information use on social media, perceived freedom of speech – these are just some of the topics IfKW researchers will address in their contributions to the 71st Annual Conference of the German Communication Association (DGPuK).

The conference takes place from March 18 to 20 at the Technical University of Dortmund and is organized by its Institut für Journalistik, which is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

A detailed overview of our institute's more than 20 contributions – some of which even involve student participation – can be found here. We look forward to many stimulating discussions in Dortmund.
