Welcome to the 2026 Symposium on Emerging Media for Communicating SDGs!
To promote academic collaboration and strengthen peer networks among emerging scholars, four leading Asian institutions—the School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist University, the School of Media and Communication at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Institute of Communication Studies at Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and the Department of Communications and New Media at the National University of Singapore—have jointly established a four-year rotational system for hosting this symposium. Each year, one institution takes the lead in organizing the event, providing faculty and students with valuable opportunities to present their latest research and receive constructive feedback.
This year, the EMCSDG symposium will be held in Hong Kong on 27-28 March. At EMCSDG symposium 2026, we expect to welcome you all to Hong Kong for an extensive in-person program consisting of keynote speeches, industry workshops, and paper sessions, showcasing diverse perspectives on how emerging media—including artificial intelligence, digital platforms, immersive technologies, and social media—advance or achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We look forward to welcoming you to Hong Kong!
