What is MMLab?
Founded in 1995, the Multimedia Communication Laboratory (MMLab) is an interdepartmental scientific and applied research centre that focuses on digital comunication. It belongs to the School of Communication of the University of Navarra.
We study, with a theoretical and experimental approach, the impact of digital technology on the public communication media, as well as the emergence of new codes and communication systems.
In its operative dimension, MMLab:
- Develops scientific research projects.
- Designs and produces resources and interactive applications.
- Creates analysis and debate forums on the study subjects.
- Acts as a consultant to companies and develops products.
- Promotes and teaches graduate and postgraduate, internal and external courses.
