20th October, Saturday Day 3: Media Scholarship and Research Forum continued On day three, participants gather in their workgroups to formulate answers to the two steering questions that ground our conference proceedings. One question will focus on outcomes that advance conceptualisation of universalism under 21st century conditions (i.e. theory for scholarship). The other question will focus on implications for strategic management in PSM firms. The Chairs of the workgroups will present their results respectively in the Closing Moderated Plenary discussion, which will be an open discourse about the conference theme. |

13.00-14.20 h. RIPE Business Meeting chaired by Gregory Ferrell Lowe, RIPE Continuity Director |
This year marks a significant change in the structure and leadership of the RIPE initiative. Prof Lowe’s proposal will be published in advance for participants and the larger RIPE community to consider. The proposal essentially calls for establishing a RIPE President and Deputy President to take charge of the production of each conference. These will be elected positions and a call for nominations will be issued about one month before the conference in Madrid. Prof Lowe will remain Continuity Director of the initiative, but with less day-to-day responsibility for producing the conferences. The meeting will also present his ideas about a sister initiative to be called RIPE+ to support the development of public service media provision in the wider world beyond west Europe and OECD countries. Finally, there will be discussion about the future of the RIPE book series and the editorial structure for this.
Conference participants are welcome to attend the Business Meeting. Members of the RIPE Advisory Board (RAB) are especially needed and encouraged to attend.
