The programme of the virtual component merged as follows: The society of knowledge requires fluid communication between knowledge-producing institutions and its publics. Knowledge of the main development paths of scientific-technical research, and of its main risks and benefits, is a fundamental element of contemporary culture, and the existence of specialized communicators is essential. For this reason, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, University of Bucharest, Université libre de Bruxelles, Aix-MarseilleUniversité and National and Kapodistrian University of Athens are organizing the third edition of its previously funded BIPS on Public Communication of Science and Scientific Dissemination. The program is designed to provide young researchers with the necessary concepts and tools to approach the dissemination of their current and future research activities and technical knowledge to the public, an activity that is increasingly in demand by society, research centres, universities and public administrations. In addition, the aim of this program is to acquire and improve the skills necessary for professional development inthe field of social dissemination of scientific knowledge, R&D management, i.e. institutional scientific disseminationof public or private research centers, promotion of scientific activity, knowledge transfer or science journalism

Physical Part starting date 2025-05-26

Physical Part Description The physical sessions will allow the participants to learn to record scientific videos and podcasts in a more immersive setting than online sessions, with more efficient help from trainers for such specific tasks. These practical sessions will be the extension of previous online sessions and will support the application of the skills andknowledge that they will have acquired. The face-to-face setting will also foster the team-building process necessary for successful collaborations in the final projects. A visit to the Joint Research Center from the European Commission is envisaged. Furthermore, we will establish contact with the Inforscience and Science Communication department of ULB to study possible synergies with their activities. Their expertise can be useful to provide further insights to the participants
