By providing practice-oriented research, academic teaching, industry training and media consultation, the Erich Pommer Institut consistently applies the latest observations and findings from the film, TV and music industries to a wide spectrum of fields.

These include issues of media law (e.g. copyright and licensing law) and media economy (e.g. film financing and the trade in TV formats) as well as for instance the legal and economic aspects involved in media convergence.

Our ambition is to encourage an interest in media law and media economics while handing on knowledge and skills to new talent in the media industry.

Based on the vast experience of our directors and the latest research fi ndings, the Erich Pommer Institut provides professional consultation to companies, institutions of higher education, professional associations and other organisations. On behalf of the Federal Government, the institute also participates in current political discussions regarding amendments and other legislative processes in the media industry.
