For Media

Media & Outreach

Are you interested in the results of our research? Do you work in newspapers, television, radio, or digital media? We welcome collaborations that help translate scientific knowledge into meaningful societal impact. 

The Brno Lab of Intergroup Processes (BLIP) studies how relationships between social groups are formed, maintained, and improved. Our research provides evidence-based insights into pressing societal issues, as well as into how social psychological research itself is conducted, measured, and evaluated. 

We are happy to collaborate with journalists, media professionals, and content creators. Do not hesitate to contact our members directly, or reach out for general inquiries. For general inquiries, please contact us at blip@psu.cas.cz.
