In doing so, science communication can have positive and negative, long-term and short-term effects – socially, technologically, or educationally. The question of the impact of science communication is therefore of central importance.

This event will address the question of science communication impact measurement and evaluation by offering state of the art insights on major models and methods used to evaluate science communication. It also offers latest data on the evaluation practices of professional science communicators across Europe and show gaps and showcase ways for future development of best practice.
