Panel @ NetSciX24: Research Communication

Redefining Scientific Communication: From the Scientific Community to Society

As researchers, sharing our research is fundamental. This should happen not only within our closest scientific circles but must also involve engaging with the broader scientific community, policymakers, and society at large. We believe that by addressing these questions and sharing our experiences, we can improve the way we communicate our research and make it more impactful. That’s why we’re participating in NetSciX24!

Join us as we discuss the importance of effective research sharing, explore innovative methods beyond traditional formats, and consider diverse platforms like social media and blogs. Your contribution and insight would be invaluable in this conversation!

Hot Questions:

• How important is it that we communicate our research? Is communication key to academic success in your experience?
• What would you change in the way we share our research in traditional formats during conferences? Are there more impactful alternatives?
• How do you introduce your research to people outside your field? What strategies have you found effective?
• How can we make scientific research more accessible to non-academic audiences, including society and policymakers?
• Apart from conferences, can other means of communication, such as blogs and Twitter, be effective tools to share our research? What are the pros and cons of these platforms?
• We have our own conferences, we all follow each other on Twitter… How do we avoid creating an echo chamber? What steps can we take to ensure diverse perspectives and broader outreach?
