EUPRERA CONGRESS 2023 - CALL FOR PAPERS
Author name
EUPRERA XXIV annual congress will take place on September 20-23, 2023 in Prague. The congress is organized by Charles University and will deal with the theme "Responsible Communication or Communicating Responsibility?"
Since corporate social responsibility became a theme in the late twentieth century, various forms of “responsibility” have come to play an important role within organizations and companies. The sub-theme of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) has steadily grown in importance in communication studies (European Communication Monitor, 2022, in progress). The need for a dialogue about the societal and environmental impact of communications has begun to increase along with the concern of the European and American publics about the side effects of global economic and population growth and their impact on the planet.
The big questions are about honesty and hypocrisy: to what extent are companies honest (transparent and truthful) with the public when it comes to their “greater good” actions? How much can they be? Drawing from Milton Friedman’s classic argument, is the sole responsibility of joint-stock company CEOs to their shareholders for improving financial results, or should they take the lead on societal issues as well (Edelman Trust Barometer, 2021)? What is the role of communication professionals in this complex environment, where they are often walking on eggshells?

For over three decades, BledCom has been more than just a symposium. It has been a unique sanctuary for dialogue where the world’s leading communication researchers and practitioners meet to navigate the complexities of our field. Today, we are honored to celebrate a major milestone in this journey: the 5th Anniversary of the International Declaration of Communications Professionals and Researchers presented by INTERDECOM .
The 27th Annual Congress will be hosted by the Department of Audiovisual Communication and Advertising at the Faculty of Communications Sciences of University of Malaga in the city of Malaga, on the Costa del Sol of Andalusia, Spain, between 16 and 19 September 2026. The theme of the Congress is “Regenerating public relations and strategic communication in the face of the new global order: are we ready for this challenge?”
