CONCISE presents the results of its research and concludes that people’s trust in information sources is a key factor to improve science communication
The CONCISE project, coordinated by the ScienceFlows group of the University of Valencia, has presented the main conclusions of the analysis of the data collected from the citizen consultations held in 2019. The results of the research show that citizens demand that universities and public research centres acquire a more relevant role in the dissemination of science.

Mario Viciosa: “It is not enough to tell the last hour, you have to create critical citizenship”
Mario Viciosa has been one of the guests at the X Campus Gutenberg – CosmoCaixa in the round table “The lie-hunters: Fake News and fact checkers”. In this interview he talks about fact checking in the field of scientific communication and gives some clues to understand how hoaxes circulate.
Aging is a blind spot in natural selection
Why do we age? Why do we die? These questions are one of humanity’s greatest challenges. We can see it in religions, which have created different justifications for death; or the large number of myths about a Fountain of Youth.
Professors and researchers from CCS-UPF participate as authors in the book “Communicating Science: a Global Perspective”
Professors and researchers from the Center for Science, Communication and Society Studies (CCS-UPF) have participated in two chapters of the book “Communicating Science: a Global Perspective”, which documents the global emergence of modern scientific communication in 39 countries of the world.
RiConfigure Dialogue Days
From July 6 to 10, the “Dialogue Days” of the European Project RiConfigure will take place, an open online process that brings together policy makers, practitioners and researchers working in the field of innovation.
Barriers and incentives to engage in science communication
Exploring the hurdles and incentives of science communication is one of the key objectives of the CONCISE Project. To that aim, the team of the Science, Communication, and Society Studies Centre of the Pompeu Fabra University (CCS-UPF) interviewed 26 science communication researchers (from 15 countries) and conducted one contrast online workshop with 18 science communication practitioners (journalists, communication officers, science museum directors, etc.) from 16 countries.
“We must value the role of the ocean as an essential element of well-being”
On the occasion of World Oceans Day on June 8 we held an online round table to discuss about the health of the oceans. The experts debated the current health of marine waters, the problems that their pollution can cause both to the ecosystem and to humans, and possible solutions.
How citizens can change the world of solar energy
GRECO project is taking solar energy research out of the lab and into the hands of the people. As the project launches its app, Generation Solar, Luisa Fernanda Barbosa Gomez – from the Studies Centre on Science, Communication and Society – Universitat Pompeu Fabra (SCS-UPF), part of GRECO research consortium and manager of the app’s development – tells how citizens will make the difference.
“Generation Solar”, the citizen science new app about solar energy
Now available “Generation Solar”, the first platform – soon also an app for smartphones – that creates a unique solar energy community and promotes data exchange between photovoltaic installation owners and scientists. The CCS-UPF has managed the development process of “Generation Solar”, which was born from a unique collaborative process as part of the multinational photovoltaic research project, GRECO.
