Science Communication
Contribution to debate
The acute crisis situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has recently shown how important science communication is. But that's not all: well-founded, up-to-date knowledge from various scientific disciplines is also necessary for social discussions on efficient measures to combat climate change or questions of social justice.
To ensure that communication between science, society and the media is as successful as possible, Die Junge Akademie's project group on science communication has developed five key points for science communication in discussions with numerous experts. The guiding principles advocate a clear separation of factual basis, level of knowledge and judgement, advocate a realistic classification of extreme values in the debate and want to encourage communicators to trust the public with more complexity. In this way, public discourse can become more objective.
