The panel is sponsored by RMeS.
You can earn credits by attending the entire symposium and:

Are you an RMeS student or PhD member interested in presenting your on-going project or past work related to media’s planetary entanglements from the archive to the algorithm, from screen to stream? Submit your 300-word abstract before 25 May 2026, 23:59.
Up to six junior scholars will be selected to present – a unique chance to expand your international network and present your work alongside leading international scholars in the field of eco-media studies.
