The IKMZ SciComm Team analyzes the emergence, characteristics, uses and effects of science communication. We take an interdisciplinary and dynamic approach, identifying scientific and technological innovations, exploring conceptual and methodological research frontiers, and uncovering the implications of science communication for society. As part of an emerging research community focused on science communication internationally, we aim to strengthen both research in our field and dialogue with key stakeholders.
We study how science interacts with society, and how experts communicate and engage with the public. We examine the media ecosystem around science - from changes in science journalism to online, social and mobile media - and track public perceptions of science in Switzerland. We also investigate the changing processes of scientific knowledge creation, their regulation and the broader implications for society.
