| SUMMARY: |
2020 brought about unprecedented challenges for the academic world on a global
scale. However, the COVID-19 pandemic did not manage to freeze scientific activity, and
academic communities mobilized to switch from offline to online swiftly and consistently.
The present volume, called Effective communication in sustainable societies, is the mere
expression of a department’s collective efforts to maintain academic life as performant
and vibrant as technology could allow it, under such circumstances. During May 28-29,
2020, the 8th online edition of the International Students’ Conference on Communication
took place in the Department of Communication, Public Relations, and Advertising from
Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, organized by the Communication and
Social Innovation Research Center. The eighth edition of the conference brought together
Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. students who contributed to a wide and diverse discussion
on communication, and the present volume gathers selected works that reflect their
research work in times of a pandemic. |
