SCI:COM is a unique event that welcomes great minds from the arena of science communication for exciting talks, workshops and discussions which we're delighted to support this year again, as SCI:COM goes virtual.
This years theme: ADAPT
This year's theme is ADAPT, something that we've all been doing quite a lot of this year. This year SCI:COM will be exploring the failure of science communication in the pandemic and how research is being adapted on a population level to society's needs. There will be discussions on the anti-science movements and how to change sci-comm to adjust to misinformation. We'll hear of European-wide projects that succeeded while sharing our own little failures. And most of all, SCI:COM will be giving you a chance to learn, network, engage and share your perspectives.
