Science communication is reaching out to a wide range of audience groups - and your ability to distill complex findings into useable information, without oversimplification, is essential for your content to engage these audiences.

Plans for effective research communication are now required in many research proposals, and universities who aren’t communicating their research effectively might miss out on government research funding and top spots in university rankings.

I ett avsnitt av Vetenskapsrådets podd: För en klokare värld, diskuteras drivkrafter och förutsättningar för forskningskommunikation.

Medverkar gör Armita Golkar och Jesper Olsson som berättar om vad som motiverar dem att dela sina resultat och samverka kring forskning utanför akademin, om att vara förberedd när media hör av sig, om att balansera det intresseväckande och integriteten, och om varför kurser i forskningskommunikation behövs.
