At a time when press and media are going through great challenges and trials, university radio stations, both traditional or on-line radios, continue to make themselves heard. Which management models are used? To what extent? With what purpose, goals and audiences? Which are the challenges? How is digital positioned? How do radio and podcasts are included into institutional communication strategies in Higher Education Institutions?

On a day of meeting and shared reflection, HEI communication professionals, students and their representative Associations and the media partners are invited to share perspectives and experiences.

The key note speaker will be Mihaela Gavrila, from Sapienza Universitá di Rome and vice-president of RadUni, the Italian network of the University radio. Mihaela Gavrila will present her views about “Sounds and Visions of Universities. Radio, podcasts and multimedia in university communication”. The meeting will also include a round table with representatives of the university radios in Portugal and a case study presentation about “The future of Podcast” by Ruben Martins, the author of the first doctoral thesis on podcasts in Portugal, journalist atPúblico and university professor. The day will close with the signing of the Consortium proposal between Universidade de Aveiro and AAUAv for the development of a new Radio Project.

Past Workshop

December 18 - 19, 2025
Briefing for Directors of communications
Stakeholder Management – Successfully position your university in politics, economy and society

Universities are under pressure, both financially and politically. To establish a strong position, communications directors must implement smart, comprehensive stakeholder management to ensure all target groups are addressed. Politicians must recognise the value that higher education institutions bring to the economy and to society and acknowledge that they are worth funding. We must use targeted communication to demonstrate the benefits and impact of universities. This would benefit the economy, politics and society. To achieve this, we need to collaborate with partners from various groups, including alumni, employees, and, most importantly, elected representatives of the people, i.e. politicians. Everyone must be integrated into our network and receive the appropriate messages and information. During the workshop, we will receive input and discuss best practices.

As the leaders responsible for your university’s communication strategy, you play a vital role in shaping how your institution is perceived by society, politics, and the economy. In close collaboration with your Rector or President, you contribute directly to the strategic direction of your university and represent communication at the leadership table.
