Description du projet
Faire progresser la communication scientifique au niveau européen
L’augmentation de la désinformation en ligne en matière de sciences a sapé la confiance du public dans le travail des chercheurs. La communication scientifique offre une variété de pratiques et de solutions pour communiquer les idées et les connaissances produites au grand public, et ce, d’une manière accessible et compréhensible. Le projet COALESCE, financé par l’UE, consolidera et étendra les connaissances et les relations en matière de communication scientifique avec l’objectif de créer le Centre de compétence européen pour la communication scientifique. Le projet se concentrera sur la cocréation et la conception de relations de coopération avec de multiples parties prenantes, y compris les réseaux scientifiques et journalistiques et les alliances universitaires, afin de garantir l’impact mesurable et durable du Centre à long terme. COALESCE coopérera avec des centres internationaux, nationaux et régionaux, et s’appuiera sur une approche interdisciplinaire.
Objectif
COALESCE will consolidate, further develop, and mainstream generated knowledge and connections on science communication to build up the European Competence Centre for Science Communication. To achieve measurable and sustainable long-term impact of the Centre, project objectives will pivot on co-creation and co-design building on cooperative relationships with multiple stakeholders including scientific and journalist networks, as well as university alliances. COALESCE operates in relation to international, national and regional hubs and builds on an interdisciplinary approach. It will demonstrate the means for rapid mobilisation of scicomm in times of crisis while fighting misinformation and engendering trust in science. Supporting all of this will be an accessible library of critical resources, toolkits, handbooks and training opportunities to R&I actors across the ERA.
The COALESCE project ensures the effectiveness of and best practices for science communication through a concerted and focused effort made by an experienced, knowledgeable, and well-connected consortium. We build on and add to already existing forms of excellence in science communication, public engagement, and co-creation practices developed from the joint efforts of the coordinators of all previous SwafS-19 calls and contributions from other key partners. COALESCE continues and strengthens connections between academic researchers and practitioners representing the state of the art of scicomm in Europe and defines and trains on best practices within Europe and beyond.
The consortium represents several key features to make it well positioned in relation to the call as it: 1. Integrates universities and higher education providers with SMEs; 2. Connects participatory engagement methodologies and journalism practices with new channels for scicomm; 3. Participates with agendas of national scientific bodies; and 4. Is supported by existing scicomm reference and university alliance networks.
