Working with industry professionals from throughout the region this programme aims to build capability in media engagement and communicating science.
Telling the stories of science can be a challenge because research often doesn’t fit neatly into the format of the short ‘news story’. In addition, some of the lessons scientists are taught about communicating with their peers and colleagues can, unfortunately, get in the way of effective communication with a broad audience. This project looks at developing scientists’ capability to communicate their research and activities to a broad audience through traditional and emerging media as well as how to access relevant tools for building long-lasting relationships with the media, targeted stakeholders and the wider community. Increasing reliable, evidence-based information in the media enables more informed decision-making across societies and counters mis- and dis-information.
Навчання онлайн-медіа та комунікацій
Команда Регіональний координаційний центр Міжнародної наукової ради для Азії та Тихого океану is delivering a program of online training specifically for members, affiliates and early- and mid-career researchers to build capability in communicating science, digital storytelling, understanding the media landscape and use of social media platforms. The training is being delivered by industry professionals from around the Asia and Pacific region, acknowledging, and adjusted to, the wide range of cultures, languages and media systems that exist within this region.
Співпраця Нової Зеландії та Австралійського наукового медіа-центру
In 2024/25 the Науковий медіа-центр Нової Зеландії і Австралійський науковий медіа-центр delivered a programme of workshops and resources specifically for Pacific Island scholars and journalists to increase science media capability in the region.
Підтримка розширення доступу тихоокеанських островів до Science Media Exchange (Scimex.org)
platform, alongside online distribution of resources developed for these workshops
expanded the reach of this initiative.
A dedicated symposium day at the next Global Science Media Centre meeting focused on training for scientists and journalists, as well as train-the-trainers exchanges between Asia-Pacific members of the Science Media Centre global network has further extended impacts across the region.
