Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz is director of the Hans-Bredow-Institut for Media Research and has the university professorship "Media Law and Public Law including Theoretical Foundations” at the Faculty of Law at Universität Hamburg. In February 2012, he was also appointed director at Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin.
Wolfgang Schulz is a member of the Committee of Experts on Internet Intermediaries (MSI-NET) of the European Council and has been elected chairman thereof. He is also chairman of the expert committee “Information and Communication” and, thus, board member of the German Commission for UNESCO. Furthermore, he will serve on the advisory board of the Law & Technology Centre of Hong Kong University.
His work emphasises the freedom of communication, problems of legal regulation with regard to media contents, questions of law in new media, above all in digital television, and the legal bases of journalism, but also the jurisprudential bases of freedom of communication and the implications of the changing public sphere on law. In addition, he works on the forms taken by the State’s functions, for instance, in the framework of concepts of “regulated self-regulation” of "informational regulation". Many of his projects are designed internationally comparative.
Wolfgang Schulz studied law and journalism in Hamburg. Since 1997, he has taught the optional special subject on information and communication in the Department of Law at Universität Hamburg. He has also been a member of the state office for legal examinations since January 2000. In July 2009, he habilitated at the Faculty of Law at Universität Hamburg and was granted Venia Legendi in public law, media law and legal philosophy. Since November 2011, Wolfgang Schulz has the university professorship at Universität Hamburg. It is a joint placement of the University of Hamburg and the Hans-Bredow-Institut. The focus of this professorship lies on research at the Hans-Bredow-Institut. Initially, he acted as deputy business director as well as head of the Hans-Bredow-Institut’s area of media and telecommunications law. Since 2001, he has been a member of the board of directors.
In law clinics, students consult real clients and, thus, learn on-the-job. The EU project iLINC connects media law clinics in order to network students early in their study programs with IT start-up companies.
Subject of this expert assessment for the State Media Authorities is the question of how service expectations and related burdens for private broadcasters can be linked with grants, so that an incentive evolves for broadcasters to fulfil those expectations.
Independent media needs an independent media supervision. A study for the European Commission developed indicators for analysing the independence and efficiency of audio-visual supervisory bodies.
Innovation Workshop "Creativity and Copyright in the Net Economy"
The exchange of knowledge about regulatory approaches and new forms of regulation are the focus of the project "Intellectual Property Rights in the New Media Environment".
New ways of advertising, new funding strategies and their influence on programme content and journalistic quality were the topics of a conference of the Alcatel-Lucent Stiftung, the Hans-Bredow-Institut and the Media Authority Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein in Hamburg on 9 June 2009.

The initial point for the conference on 4 June 2008 was the proposition that developments in the area of networks and platforms may indeed create new opportunities, but may also prejudice access to content and service quality for users.
The Hans-Bredow-Institut analyses problems of media concentration as well as general constraints on private broadcasting providers according to broadcasting law.
The Hans-Bredow-Institut deals with questions of content regulation in the context of new developments in the media order, such as the new media reform, in Thailand.

An evaluation of the protection of minors in the media in Germany, as commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
In cooperation with the Faculty of Law at Universität Hamburg, the Hans-Bredow-Institut is working on media law projects for education and further education.
From a Dual Broadcasting System to Service-Specific Diversified Information?
What meaning do online services have for the formation of public and individual opinion? And to what extent does a purely commercial offering show deficits concerning constitutional law? The Hans-Bredow-Institut explores these questions in this project.
On behalf of the Federal Commision for Culture and Media, the Hans-Bredow-Institut examines the legal mandate and funding of the public broadcaster Deutsche Welle as part of the amended Deutsche Welle Act of 2005.
