This was awarded with an international mention for being completed in Basque and in French. He has been a professor at the UPV/EHU since the academic year 2016-2017. He teaches subjects related to the analysis of mass communication and culture at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Communication (in Basque, in Spanish, in English and in French).

He is a member of the NOR Research Group whose research areas focus on collective identities and media studies. In this line, his specific research areas are linked to the following three lines of action: State and national identities, the media sport event and mass communication.

He has completed three long international research stays in this frame. In Aix en Provence (France) in 2011 at the Maison Méditerranéene des Sciences de l'Homme; in Liverpool (UK) in 2014 at the Management School of the Liverpool University; and in Baku (Azerbaijan) in 2015-2016 at the Qafqaz University. The latter was framed in an Erasmus Backis post doctoral grant funded by the European Commision.

His contributions have also been presented in many international and national conferences.
