|Is About=This is a policy report produced under the COALESCE initiative. It consolidates key findings from eight former European “Science with and for Society” (SwafS-19) projects (including QUEST, CONCISE, NEWSERA, GlobalSCAPE, RETHINK, PARCOS, ENJOI and TRESCA) funded under the EU’s H2020 programme. The report reflects on the role of science communication (scicomm) across Europe assessing past efforts, identifying structural and institutional barriers (such as lack of stable support, limited career paths, and insufficient integration of scicomm into academia and R&I systems), and making a case for systemic change. It outlines motivations for effective scicomm (public trust, scientific literacy, democratic engagement, innovation, etc.), presents evidence collected through stakeholder consultations across many EU countries, and provides a set of policy recommendations aiming to professionalise and institutionalise science communication across Europe. | |Is About=This is a policy report produced under the COALESCE initiative.
