Dare to join? MIZ_innovationspace@rp15
"RETHINKING BROADCASTING" is the motto for the MIZ_innovationspace@rp15 on May 5 and 6, where the Media Innovation Center Babelsberg (MIZ) encourages media professionals to take part in a challenge, to break out of old routines and try something new. So all the guests and some 60 panellists will definitely leave their comfort zone and in twelve different sessions, target the basic requirements for innovation and systemic change. “MUTproben” (Testing Courage) is an invitation to self-experiment.
