Science Communication

The Science Communication Research group at HIGH. investigates the foundations of efficient peer-to-peer, peer-to-public and public-to-public communication and develops methods for effectively disseminating medical research to the general public.
Vision
We believe that communicating science effectively is crucial for a well-informed, inclusive and healthy society. Our goal is to help researchers share their work with the public in a clear and inspiring way. We create the research foundation for new communication methods and tools to make science easier to understand and more impactful. Our efforts connect researchers, policymakers, and the general public.
Main Research Interests:
- Foundations of efficient peer-to-peer, peer-to-public and public-to-public communication
- Development of innovative approaches for disseminating medical (research) information to the general public
- Leveraging generative artificial intelligence for science communication
- Investigating barriers to effective science communication and developing solutions
- Exploring the role of digital media in science dissemination with a focus on social media channels and new digital formats
