Innovate and Engage:
Bridging Research Communication and Society

Building on the objectives of the DILAN project — enhancing the ability of scientists to reach diverse  audiences through digital platforms — this conference serves as a European forum for innovation,  inclusivity, and interdisciplinary dialogue. 

The European Union has recognized that effective public communication of science is necessary and a  key priority for societal progress. In response, DILAN provides digital solutions, innovative learning tools  such as MOOCs and online training courses, as well as specialized resources to boost digital literacy and  the capacity for outreach. With a special focus on supporting women researchers and bridging both STEM  and non-STEM fields, DILAN reinforces essential EU values including multilingualism, civic engagement,  and the democratization of science. 

13th and 14th of June 2025.
Bucharest University of Economic Studies
