Due to the disruption brought by the pandemic, the Lisbon Winter School for the Study of Communication will not convene in January 2021. We will be updating the website in early 2021 with information regarding the 3rd edition.
The Lisbon Winter School takes a comparative and global approach to central and emerging topics in the study of media and communication. It is jointly organized by the Faculty of Human Sciences (Universidade Católica Portuguesa), the Center for Media@Risk at the Annenberg School for Communication (University of Pennsylvania), the School of Journalism and Communication (Chinese University of Hong Kong), the Department of Media and Communications (London School of Economics and Political Science) and the Faculty of Social Sciences (University of Helsinki).

Due to this heritage and its geographical location, Lisbon has become a central hub in West-East and North-South interconnections.
Even though January is one of the coldest months in Lisbon, the average temperature is 15°C (59°F) throughout the day and 8°C (47°F) at night.
According to the 2017 Global Peace Index, Portugal is the 3rd safest country in the world.
