    • Introduction

      In times of fake news and “alternative” scientific facts, when many question scientific methods, research, and results, it is especially important to communicate science effectively to help the public understand scientific concepts, processes and results. Science communication is the process of informing the scientific community as well as the interested public about science and scientific findings. This in turn enables science-informed decision-making on the issues of our time. Science communication is not only important to improve public scientific literacy, and increases public trust in science and scientists, but is also important for education and science careers. The ability to communicate science is the key to sharing scientific knowledge effectively and increasing the impact of one’s own research.

      Conveying research to an audience of non-experts requires skills that differ from those needed to communicate with fellow scientists. It requires a different level of detail, scientific vocabulary, and communication structure. Beyond UNIVERSEH has recognized the need and demand for science communication and is now offering science communication trainings for

      • students,
      • researchers,
      • and lecturers.

      The interactive trainings teach participants various ways to communicate their work to non-experts by exploring different channels and innovative avenues of communication including podcasts, videos, and blogs. The aim of the training is to improve the participants' ability to communicate with the public and help them become effective science communicators.

      These trainings offer students, researchers, and instructors a rare opportunity to learn how to share their research with non-experts in a European setting. The participants are composed of interdisciplinary and diverse groups from the UNIVERSEH member countries of France, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, and Sweden. The trainings are conducted in English and open to members of all disciplines.
