A global pandemic, online meetings and the battle against disinformation! The last two years have truly proven how adaptive we, and our societies, can be in changing circumstances. Due to the pandemic, the use of digital technologies for science communication and engagement have evolved remarkably. These challenging times have also shown how important it is to work together, exchange knowledge and share information openly. But what makes a good digital communication or engagement initiative? How do you engage, educate and entertain digitally at the same time? What have we learnt and what trends do we see?
Join this event to explore the secrets of some successful Nordic Baltic science communication and engagement initiatives that have seen the light during the pandemic. Participants are encouraged to exchange ideas on how to strengthen the Nordic-Baltic science engagement community and further enhance collaboration across the Nordics, Europe and beyond.
