News and Events

MagLab is excited to share the joy of completing our first year, and what a remarkable journey it has been! From our launch on December 6, 2022, to the recent launch of the International Journal of Magazine Studies, we’ve achieved significant milestones that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our dedicated MagNet members and the broader community interested in Magazine Studies.

The International Journal of Magazine Studies (IJMS) proudly announces the opening of submissions for its very first edition, Vol. 1 No. 1 (2024). Authors can submit their manuscripts online after registering on the IJMS website until January 8, 2024.

We are proud to announce the Scientific Committee of FoM 23. Thank you very much to every member of the community that accepted to join us in this event that intends to bring together various researchers to share insights, ideas and discuss the current status and technical challenges the medium will face. The Organizing Committee looks forward to working with you all in the following months.

MagLab is grateful to the following researchers who comprise the Organizing Committee for the first edition of the biennial Future of Magazine conference (FoM), organized by CICANT, Lusófona University research center, on 19 – 21 July 2023.
