The fourth bi-annual RIPE conference is hosted by ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen), Germany's national public service television broadcasting company, and two universities: The Medienintelligenz programme together with IAK Medienwissenschaften at the Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz and the Institute of Media Design at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences. The Conference theme is public service media in their role, obligations and development for relations with the publics such companies are mandated to serve. About sixty international scholars and researchers together with strategic managers and policy makers will be working collaboratively to generate analysis and uncover insights about media development of relevance to the practice of citizenship in 21st century. Participants will better understand the dynamics of collaboration and public partnership in the development of a genuinely participatory public service enterprise.
