Communicating Science in the Era of AI
This event explores how AI is transforming science communication across system, process, and actor levels. It brings together research, industry, startups, policy, and society to connect perspectives and practices.
From big questions to hands-on practice.
We’ll start the morning with diverse perspectives on how AI is changing science communication, bringing together voices from research, policy, industry, startups and society. In the afternoon, we’ll move from discussion to action with interactive, co-creative workshops, exploring practical ways to use AI responsibly and effectively in science communication.
