Fostering a Collaborative Environment

Established in 2007, the Global Communication Association (GCA) is a not-for-profit professional body intended to promote academic research and collaboration in a wide range of topics related to mass media, journalism, public relations, advertising, social media, broadcasting, cultural studies, political communication, new media technologies, and intercultural communication studies. Through its conferences, GCA facilitates joint projects, networking, and research opportunities among scholars and students. More importantly, GCA provides an eclectic international platform for scholars, researchers, corporate executives, communication specialists, policymakers, bureaucrats, political leaders, public relations practitioners, and co-related industry professionals to meet, interact, and generate new ideas for discussion and public dissemination; thereby, enriching the field of global communication. 

In the past, GCA conferences were successfully organized in many countries, including China, Oman, India, Poland, Malaysia, Zambia, Canada, Russia, Germany, the United States, Spain, Greece, and Turkey. The past conferences were hosted or co-hosted by major universities, including Shanghai University, Sultan Qaboos University, Manipal University, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and The Pontifical University of John Paul II, Asia Pacific University College of Technology & Innovation, Media Institute of Southern Africa, Pyatigorsk State Linguistic University, Stuttgart Media University, University of Mysore, High Point University, Rey Juan Carlos University, the American College of Greece, and Marmara University. ​​
