Supporting a global ecosystem of Science Communication
Global SciComm is an ambitious attempt to enhance visibility and cooperation across a global landscape of science communication by sharing global experiences and learning, on a grass roots level.
We aim to provide a space for the most basic of human faculties, simply communicating and connecting, in order to broaden the inclusion of global voices and perspectives within conversations around science.
Local considerations for global Science Communication (5Ps)
To account for the diverse landscape of global science communication we consider five main areas. The groupings we use are not entirely exclusive and have overlaps but we see them as a way to better understand the varied local contexts that can or do exist within science communication.
Producers
The individuals or groups that typically develop, hold or interpret knowledge within a particular region
Practitioners
The human instigators and/or contact points for engagement opportunities within any particular region
Publics
The audiences of science communication in any particular region
Places
Where regional publics typically engage with science, or more generally knowledge about the world
Pillars
Groups or organisations that support the communication of science across any particular region
