Print media industry, education and research have been intertwined for decades. Over the last years they intensified their co-operation and co-creation to improve the learning effects of their teachings, the relevance of research and the quality of the print services. Five prominent speakers will give you an update on how the interaction between these three partners spurs print media innovation today.
