With challenges in the science behind the pandemic being explained with clarity to information sources considered credible, there is a lot to understand about the impact of Covid-19 on the practice of science communication and reporting. CovidSciCom is a global study involving practitioners and experts across India, Switzerland and the United States, in collaboration with Swissnex in India and Boston, Science et Cité and the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences in Switzerland, and the National Institute of Advanced Studies in India.
Through this study, we aim to gain insights on how science communication and science journalism communities across various countries perceive and understand the influence of Covid-19 on science outreach and reporting, on communication to decision-makers and the general public, and the impact it will have on their work going forward. The platform sets out to strengthen the international network of science communicators and experts, and curate exchanges and opportunities with this community.
