Science communication is the key for the future of science and the world. Citizens are a piece of the puzzle of science; the effectiveness and the engagement of our research in maritime's future will be crucial these days.
The scientific community is taking a step towards the creation of new connection models and tools to reach policy-makers and citizens. These current methods are moving towards the path of storytelling and data visualisation. Emotions and visuals are becoming more popular in the XXI century. Learning how to work with it will make the role of science essential again.
Therefore, we will provide a tool box with new ideas on how to develop the competences and skills of professionals. Examples include: how to create a message box and infographics, how to debunk myths and how to engage with media and other stakeholders.
This workshop will focus in the case of Marine and Ocean stories. We will give help to communicate and make your research able to reach new frontiers and people.
