Descrizione del progetto
Promuovere la comunicazione scientifica a livello europeo
L’aumento della disinformazione online sulla scienza ha inciso sulla fiducia del pubblico nel lavoro scientifico. La comunicazione scientifica offre svariate pratiche e soluzioni per portare le idee e le conoscenze nell’ambito della scienza al grande pubblico in modo accessibile e comprensibile. Il progetto COALESCE, finanziato dall’UE, consoliderà e svilupperà ulteriormente le conoscenze e le connessioni sulla comunicazione scientifica per costituire un Centro di competenza europeo per la comunicazione scientifica. Il progetto si concentrerà sulla co-creazione e sulla co-progettazione di relazioni di cooperazione con molteplici soggetti interessati, tra cui reti scientifiche e di giornalisti, nonché alleanze universitarie, per garantire che il Centro eserciti un impatto misurabile e sostenibile a lungo termine. COALESCE collaborerà con poli internazionali, nazionali e regionali e si baserà su un approccio interdisciplinare.
Obiettivo
COALESCE will consolidate, further develop, and mainstream generated knowledge and connections on science communication to build up the European Competence Centre for Science Communication. To achieve measurable and sustainable long-term impact of the Centre, project objectives will pivot on co-creation and co-design building on cooperative relationships with multiple stakeholders including scientific and journalist networks, as well as university alliances. COALESCE operates in relation to international, national and regional hubs and builds on an interdisciplinary approach. It will demonstrate the means for rapid mobilisation of scicomm in times of crisis while fighting misinformation and engendering trust in science. Supporting all of this will be an accessible library of critical resources, toolkits, handbooks and training opportunities to R&I actors across the ERA.
The COALESCE project ensures the effectiveness of and best practices for science communication through a concerted and focused effort made by an experienced, knowledgeable, and well-connected consortium. We build on and add to already existing forms of excellence in science communication, public engagement, and co-creation practices developed from the joint efforts of the coordinators of all previous SwafS-19 calls and contributions from other key partners. COALESCE continues and strengthens connections between academic researchers and practitioners representing the state of the art of scicomm in Europe and defines and trains on best practices within Europe and beyond.
The consortium represents several key features to make it well positioned in relation to the call as it: 1. Integrates universities and higher education providers with SMEs; 2. Connects participatory engagement methodologies and journalism practices with new channels for scicomm; 3. Participates with agendas of national scientific bodies; and 4. Is supported by existing scicomm reference and university alliance networks.
