The Department of Economic Sciences and Media is dedicated to research and teaching on the basics, mechanisms and control instruments of a digital economy and society. The focus is on the theoretical and empirical examination of economic processes and structures, of communication processes in a dynamic media landscape and of relevant legal relationships, against the background of a complex, changeable technological environment. We face the questions of a "digital economy" and "media society" together - with modern economic and social science research and teaching, with close practical relevance and technological orientation.
