Research Centre for Digital Communication and Media Innovation
Our Research
Most of us interact and communicate with society and the people around us through media – be it traditionally via newspapers and radio, or via digital services and platforms. Against this backdrop of current and far-reaching social changes such as digitalisation, sustainability and globalisation, the members of the dkmi Research Centre investigate the role, form and future of media and communication.
Our research is application-oriented, actor-centred and focuses in particular on the cultural dimension of human interaction. Transformative research and close cooperation with partners from civil society, the (regional) economy and cultural institutions form the core of our academic practice.
We have an interdisciplinary structure, with currently members from five departments of Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Our members include research-active professors and members of the academic mid-level staff.
Research network
The dkmi research centre is located on the h_da media campus in Dieburg and cooperates closely with the Institute for Communication and Media in the Media department. It is one of four interdisciplinary research centres at h_da and is active in the research focus "Communication, Media and Social Change".
