Approaching the end of Year 2 we have reflected on the theoretically informed decisions and methodologies that set the foundations of the resources and training we are developing.
WP2
Through the ethnographic interview-based study, we have collected data from EU STEM scientists on digital science communication practices. We also applied AI tools to track collaborative networks, research productivity and impact of a selection of highly active researchers. With these two types of data, we have been able to identify a repertoire of good practices in science communication online, both professional and public science communication.
All this has resulted into an open-access report, a gallery of videotestimonials, and several publications in progress.
WP3 & WP5
Based on the ethnographic study of interviews and focus groups, we are currently creating instructional materials and developing a fully digital (online) training course, that we will turn into a MOOC for self-directed learning.
We are also co-creating a virtual resource hub to help EU STEM scientists communicate more effectively to public audiences through different modes and digital media and enhance their cross-cultural sensitivity.
More updates on our forthcoming transnational meeting, in which we will discuss the results of WP3 and WP5, will be posted shortly.
