Lectures, publications, interdisciplinary research networks, personal websites, (social) media, or collaborations with non-university partners — there are many ways and options to communicate research.
As part of a panel discussion at the “Research Communication Day” of Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) on April 7, Paula Weitz discusses the opportunities and challenges of science communication under the title “Scaling research communication”. The discussion covered a range of topics — from communication within one’s own scientific community to interdisciplinary communication and collaboration with non-scientific partners to public communication of one’s own research.
The panel also includes Prof. Dr. Valentin Klaus (Urban Ecology and Biodiversity, RUB), Jun.-Prof. Dr. Sebastian Golla (Criminology, Criminal Law and Security Research in the Digital Age, RUB), Dr. Andreas Sieß (Rhine Ruhr Center for Science Communication Research, H-BRS), Dr. Maren Freudenberg (Sociology of Religion, CERES, RUB), and Dr. Dilek A. Tepeli (Social Science, RUB).
