Science communication in the OntoTrans project

 

During the OntoTrans project, project partners used a variety of ways to communicate the project’s outcomes. In particular, social media platforms were used to disseminate results and reach out to the wider public.

Visual images on such platforms are an excellent way to convey content or to accompany text. So, over the course of the project, OntoTrans got creative with its artwork to help spread the word and help the public understand some of the technological advances from the project and how such technologies will develop in the coming years. An overview about communicating research projects to the public, with an emphasis on the current project, has been published.

Social Media – the Art Nouveau of Communicating Research Projects to Citizens?
