Institutes

Research needs structures. The institutes located at or associated with the Film University provide a framework for cooperation, promote internal and external communication, thereby increasing visibility. Consequently, the institutes support our university in profiling national and international collaborations as well as in cooperating with regional and supra-regional research partners, especially from the field of media and creative industries.
