Science Communication for Societal Impact

Science communication has developed and professionalized significantly in recent years. Its importance in creating an informed public that trusts science and scientific expertise has become clear to both the scientific community and policymakers.

 

Scientists and professional communicators can choose from a wide range of channels and communication formats. But how can they decide which format is best suited to reaching their target audience? What exactly constitutes "good science communication" against the backdrop of major societal challenges and transformation processes? 

 

On April 30, 2026, the workshop „Science Communication for Societal Impact“, organized by the Berlin University Alliance Fellows Club and Wissenschaft im Dialog, will take place at the ECDF. In this workshop, participants will learn about the development of science communication, gain an overview of different formats and communication strategies and explore how to shape the future of science communication through practical exercises. The workshop consists of a mix of theoretical input, individual work phases and group discussions on the results. No prior preparation is required.
