UGR MediaLab
UGR MediaLab acts as a meeting point for research, analysis, and the dissemination of opportunities generated by digital technologies in the areas of culture and society. It strives to serve as an open laboratory for the generation of proposals at the University and in society, as a research hub, and as an experimental space for exploring creativity and new ways of generating knowledge in digital societies. The Lab places special emphasis on prototyping and open knowledge (a superset encompassing the concepts of open data, content and access). It focuses on the strategic areas of digital society, digital humanities and digital science.
UGR RadioLab
If you are developing or have developed research activities and wish to share your results, you can discuss them on UGR RadioLab programmes and podcasts. Anyone can send a proposal to make a radio programme with UGR RadioLab, provided the topic is related to the digital sphere (i.e. to the strategic lines endorsed by UGR MediaLab). Moreover, you can listen to the podcasts about other students’ and researchers’ most relevant research activities on several online platforms.
