Berger Research Award
Call for Papers

We are pleased to announce the call for research awards focusing on the intersection of ethics and futurism in strategic communication globally. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, it is essential to explore the ethical dimensions of communication strategies and anticipate future trends to ensure responsible and effective practices.


2024 - Ethics & Futurism

Ethics is taking an even more vital role than ever before in our world filled with conflicts, wars, shortages, health problems, crises, and rapid technological changes. It is clear: in the future, ethics must take a central role in society’s response to these issues — and that response is critical to the strategic communication management discipline and even to civilization itself. To thrive in the future or just exist … may all be a matter of ethics.  

We will discuss research on these issues as a small conclave of leading scholars and professionals.

Creating ethical understanding and well-analyzed standards for AI use is the goal of the AI EAB.
