We highlight three main areas of research in Audiovisual Communication currently underway on the Campus Gandia of the UPV: digital communication and new media, video games and gamification; and film, television and animation.

Within area of digital communication and new media, we can find several research projects by professors and PhD students on the Campus from the Audiovisual Communication undergraduate program and the Official Master CALSI in Social Media.
