News from us: After two years of research, analysis, writing, designing and finally publishing our tools and reports… our #Horizon2020 project has now released all of its resources and is coming to a close. We hope that the #SciComm community will continue to make use of our materials in the months and years to come. Thank you everyone who has followed and participated in our journey!

QUEST – QUality and Effectiveness in Science and Technology communication. A H2020 project.
About us
QUEST – QUality and Effectiveness in Science and Technology communication Project QUEST How can we define, measure and support effective scientific communications? What are the tools and guidelines that would help improve its quality? Can we support the creation of a community of science communication stakeholders? These and many other questions are examined as part of the Horizon 2020 project QUEST – QUality and Effectiveness in Science and Technology communication. During the two-year project, researchers and experts from the QUEST consortium investigate science communication in three strands – journalism, social media and museums – through three focus areas: climate change, vaccines and artificial intelligence. The project takes stock of science communication today, defines quality criteria, and provides supporting tools for journalists, social media managers and museums facilitators. Ultimately, the goal is to offer citizens effective and reliable communication on scientific topics that generally have a significant impact on their daily lives, such as the three topics selected as focus areas. QUEST is a two-year project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824634.

Just great to see how Project QUEST has been contributing to promote the value of #scicomm in favour of #science, #research and #society. We are taking forward this important committment at Venice International University with a number of graduate and undergraduate activities, and with the new #EUfunded project COALESCE SciComm. European Commission EU Science, Research and Innovation European Research Executive Agency (REA)
🔬 Why is science communication important? 🌍 As our world becomes more complex, it's becoming increasingly important for citizens to have a solid understanding of science to make well-informed decisions. With issues like #ClimateChange, #Energy, #COVID, food and vaccinations becoming more prominent, it's crucial that we have informed conversations based on facts and a dialogue that addresses the concerns of individuals. 🗣️ We showcase 9 innovative #EUfunded projects dedicated to promoting a healthy public discussion of science. From empowering scientists with better communication tools to engaging authorities and the public in meaningful conversations, these projects are bridging gaps and building bridges 🤝 Discover how 👉 https://europa.eu/!KqkGcQ Project QUEST

❗ LAST CALL to apply to our #VIUSpringSchool on #ScienceCommunication ❗ #Apply by January 15, 2024! 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecyqPt_i #VeniceInternationalUniversity #VIUGraduate #VIUInterdisciplinary #VIUOpportunity
📢 #CallForApplications: Equipping Researchers with Skills, Strategies and Confidence for #ScienceCommunication #VIUSpringSchool 2024: March 18-22, 2024 #Application deadline: January 15, 2024 Communicating research to public and policy audiences is becoming a key element of researchers’ work, but can be challenging when researchers lack the specific skills and have little experience of engaging with audiences outside the academic arena. It is essential to make researchers more aware of the importance of public science communication and engagement, especially since these activities are increasingly expected by research funders and policymakers as a pathway towards societal impact of research. To be effective public communicators, researchers need training to equip them with the key skills and confidence to communicate strategically using a wide range of tools and channels, and evaluating impact along the way. This #VIUSpringSchool gives practical skills and tools of communication to the #GraduateStudents, who will be involved in lectures, exercises, simulations, discussions, case studies, and site visits. Suitable for: #MasterStudents, #PhDstudents and young #researchers from all research disciplines across natural and social sciences, engineering and humanities.

Yesterday was the last day of the Symposium at Venice International University with intersting final recommendations, and closing remarks that opens up to new PCST Network dates in Mexico and Aberdeen! #ScicommVenice #PCSTVenice #scicomm.

And it is, sadly, the last day of the PCST Symposium. But there is still time to share the results of the working groups of day 2 before looking at the future. Venice International University PCST Network #ScicommVenice #PCSTVenice #scicomm

We left day 2 with a bit more wisdom and, likely, doubts. The working groups were intense, when popping into the main room you wouldn't find a soul. And the social event, well.. it was social ;). Tomorrow is the last day! Venice International University #PSCTNetwork #PCSTVenice #ScicommVenice #scicomm

The second day is rolling! A PCST Network symposium with a view, a packed program, and it is roundtable time! Mike Schäfer, Gian-Andri Casutt and Toby Wardman Wardman moderated by Sarah Davies (Universität Wien). Have a question/comment? Raise your hand!

And the first day is already gone but the roundtables and keynote conversations were a blast, full of content and really engaging. The closing one brought us to another level: Prof Bucchi and Trench conversed about science communication in front of a holy conversation in the San Zaccaria church... you speak of meta and oxymoron, but was it? As Prof Trench put it: let today's conversation be fuel for tomorrow's one! #ScicommVenice #PCSTVenice #scicomm Venice International University

And the day has come! PCST Network symposium is starting at Venice International University! Participant arrival and initial remarks from Carmelo Marabello, Sook-Kyoung Cho and Marina Joubert. #ScicommVenice #PCSTVenice #scicomm
