We’re inviting researchers from all disciplines, STEMM, Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities, to share how they communicate complex ideas to non-specialist audiences.
Whether you’ve experimented with creative formats, engaged the public in innovative ways, or studied communication itself, this is your chance to exchange insights, challenges, and strategies in a supportive, informal setting.
