WARA Media & Language Community Days 2025

Last week we attended the annual WASP Research Arena for Media and Language Community days at the beautiful Villa Lovik outside of Stockholm. Two days of updates from the community, pitches from the PhD students and hallway conversations about the challenges and projects from the industry partners.

Being one of the small industry partners in the group, it is inspiring to hear about what is going on in the labs of larger institutions like IKEA and Bonnier News.

We also had the opportunity to continue the collaboration with All Ears about the growing popularity of podcasts and the need for segmented classification of longer episodes. More on this topic soon!

A big thank you to the organisers and attendees, we hope to see you again soon!
