Wissenschaft im Dialog | #FSCC21 Final Panel Discussion @wissenschaftimdialog | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Final Panel Discussion "Moving Forward Research and Practice of Science Communication” at the Future of Science Communication Conference with Dr. Elisabeth Hoffmann (TU Braunschweig), Prof. Dr. Stephan Lewandowsky (University of Bristol) and Prof. Brian Trench (Dublin City University/PCST Network), moderated by Markus Weißkopf (Wissenschaft im Dialog).
Science communication is an interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral enterprise where researchers, communicators, journalists, civil society, business and politicians play their part, but where common strategies, alliances and shared objectives are not always clearly defined. The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the benefits and risks of science communication for society and amplified the need to rethink its future and its potential for innovation. What is the way forward? What are the gaps to fill and new goals to identify? How can we increase collaboration across sectors and countries? And what institutional settings and science-practice relationships work best to widen its impact?
Wissenschaft im Dialog, the organisation for science communication in Germany, and ALLEA, the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities, organised the digital conference from 24 - 25 June 2021. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and research, the two-day conference brought together international actors from research and practice of science communication and provided an impetus for stronger networking and transfer between the Science of Science Communication and practitioner communities.
