Our team at MediaLab welcomed Daniel Fritz Silvana- a visiting PhD student and lecutrer from the  School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia- who joined us to gain insights into our ongoing projects and exchange ideas with team members. During this visit, he had the opportunity to learn about the diverse scope of our research while sharing his own expertise and perspectives. Daniel Fritz, who is also a member of MediaLab’s Health Communication project is developing his PhD thesis in digital media and climate change at Deakin university, Australia.


He was warmly received by MediaLab director, Daniel Catalan, who introduced him to our mission and ongoing initiatives. Following the formal welcome, he joined several team members for a convivial lunch, fostering connections in an informal setting. Over the other days, he participated in meetings with various project teams, exploring collaborative opportunities and exchanging ideas on topics ranging from disinformation, climate change, to innovative research methodologies.


In addition to engaging with our team, the visitor spent time at the university library, utilising its extensive resources to further his studies. Outside work, he experienced the vibrant Madrid culture, adding a unique dimension to his academic exchange. The visit underscored the importance of international collaboration in research, enriching both our team and our guest through the shared pursuit of knowledge.
