This FRONTIERS webinar will explore collaboration in science communication, focusing on how journalists, researchers and institutional communication professionals work together around scientific stories.
Drawing on experiences from the FRONTIERS residency programme, the session will look at different professional perspectives, common challenges, and practical ways to build trust and improve collaboration. Rather than a traditional presentation-based webinar, the event will be organised as a moderated conversation followed by small-group discussions.
