In the information society, applied knowledge, derived from empirical research, is an instrument of social development. Moreover, communication occupies a central position in terms of the structure and functioning of society, with the new information and communication technologies being understood not only as a tool of primary necessity, but also as a way of appreciating and perceiving the globalised world, as well as being one of the best tools for socio-cultural intervention. Many of the new industries and institutions (public or private) must have specialists in this field, both as researchers and as well-qualified professionals to face some of the current challenges in the fields of culture, communication, society and politics, from creation to management.

The aim of InterCom is to deepen knowledge in these areas, fundamentally in the territories of audiovisual discourse (cinema, television, popular culture, comics, internet, photography, etc.).
