The Public Communication Division operates a MediaLab equipped with a crossmedia-station, as well as mobile and stationary eye tracking stations. With the approval of the supervisor, the laboratory areas can also be used by student carry out bachelor and master thesis studies.

Equipped with four high-performance computers, our laboratory for researching convergence is used for the development of new cross-media formats that serve convergent journalism and to study changing patterns of media use under multi-channel conditions (online and mobile).
