Since it went on line, the InCom-UAB Communication Portal has become the go-between and reference point on the Internet for all persons interested in studies on media, the information society and information and communication technologies (ICTs), as well as their effects and influences on the social organisation.

In its two language versions, Catalan and Spanish, the InCom-UAB Communication Portal addresses four major objectives:


a. To select and systematise the information available on the Internet with respect to communication. It offers links with the web sites and contents that are considered of the greatest interest: 3,000 selected and commented links in the section Online Resources on Communication, as well as texts and online interviews, new publications and an agenda of activities (Congresses and Symposia)

b. To offer self-produced contents which have been developed with the participation of experts from diverse Spanish and Latin American universities, such as the lessons of the Portal, the interviews, the book reviews, and the production of the Portal's three Observatories (Communication Policies, Local Communication, and Communication and Health) and of the associated Chairs (UNESCO Communication Chair and International Chair of Olympism).

c. To act as a meeting point and a place for the exchange of ideas between scholars who share identical or similar intellectual interests, always within the scope of communication research.

d. To foster research in communication sciences and to promote collaboration between the university world and the professional world. By its nature, the Portal allows the dissemination of knowledge and the exchange of ideas between professional sectors and the university research in communication.


Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Likewise, we would appreciate it if you would inform us of activities or publications that may be of interest for the Portal.

With your collaboration we can achieve our goal: to maintain the InCom-UAB Communication Portal as a tool of reference and support for the research and teaching community involved in the various aspects of communication.
