In the No Man’s Land between Knowledge and Communication In the No Man’s Land between Knowledge and Communication

University of Bonn to host public keynote speeches on Wednesday, June 14 as part of a conference

From climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic through to the crisis of truth, science communication is facing some significant challenges. How much academic research does good science communication require? What do we need to know about the academic system in order to assess, communicate and categorize scientific knowledge? These are some of the questions being tackled by an international conference entitled “Nowhere(to)land? What Science Studies Contribute to Science Communication.” Held in English, it will be hosted by the Forum Internationale Wissenschaft (FIW) at the University of Bonn from Wednesday, June 14 to Friday, June 16.
