The Future of Media: Insights from Meta-Alert Project
In this workshop scholars will inform and discuss the methods, and findings of innovative Tekes funded Meta-Alert-project.

The project is a multidisciplinary joint-venture between engineers (Tampere University of Technology) and humanists (University of Jyväskylä) in order to understand world's news flows, and furthermore, create effective tools to detect 'weak signals'. During the project some of the researchers have been working as visiting scholars at the world's leading research institutions in the US, the UK, and South Korea.

This workshop is free of charge for the attendees, but you have to register for it.
