About us

Welcome to the Sustainable Media Lab! Located in the heart of The Hague, we bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and students to explore what more sustainable media systems could look like.

Projects

Rapidly changing technical, legal, and societal environments require a different way of thinking about media, its technical entanglements, and its role in society. Starting in February 2022, our researchers, students, and partners will start a variety of projects exploring the role of media in our society. From the intensification of fake news to the ways in which AI can pose a threat to our human rights, we are excited to explore the many wicked problems that affect our media systems in an agile and design-oriented way.
