The 8th Conference of the Media Psychology Division (German Psychological Society) will take place on September 4th to 6th, 2013 at Julius-Maximilians University Würzburg, Germany, chaired by Prof. Dr. Frank Schwab. The division as well as the local department of media psychology and the Institute for Human - Computer - Media cordially invite you to come to Würzburg.

Theme
The theme of the conference is “Media Research: Yesterday, today and tomorrow“. By suggesting a broad theme, we aim at inviting reseachers with wide interests in theoretical and research development in diverse areas of media research to foster exchange with other subfields in psychology and with neighbouring disciplines. By only giving a motto we emphasize that contributions from all areas of media psychology are welcome.

• Workshop for PhD students: We are pleased that the conference will be preceded by a Workshop for PhD students of Media Psychology, organised by Prof. Dr. Nicole Krämer. The workshop will take place on the day before the conference (September 3rd). A maximum of 12 doctoral students will be accepted. The application deadline is May 15 (the Website-URL for further information will be announced, soon).
