Promoting Science Communication: Strategies and Lessons Learnt from Europe

The Swedish Research Council has investigated how nine European countries and the European Commission work with science communication. In this report, we present the results, highlight some good examples and show what types of initiatives are driving development forward.

The summary focuses on strategies, the work of research funding bodies, forms of funding, national initiatives, incentives for researchers and evaluation. The aim is to inspire Swedish actors and provide ideas that can strengthen collaboration and science communication.
