Do you think your work is too complex, too niche or that nobody's interested in your research?

You're not alone, but you are probably wrong. With the right tools and approach, you can turn your research project into a story that sparks curiosity, shapes debate and drives change.

What we do

At the SciComm Academy, we help researchers turn their complex ideas into clear, compelling stories — through hands-on training and expert guidance.

Whether it’s a podcast, pitch, video, article, or infographic — our courses always lead to a finished product you can be proud of.

What makes us unique?

Hands-on training: every course results in something tangible, such as a video, article, or infographic.
Expert coaches: all courses are led by experienced science communicators.
Media connections: build a valuable science communication network through Eos and other media partners.

How to turn complex research into an engaging story?

We'll share three concrete tips.


Our Lunch Talks

Experienced science communicators share their tips and tricks in our monthly free online lectures and panels.

Next lunch talk:
Care-centered Science Communication

With Bethan Burnside (Curo Agency, VIB)
Wednesday, April 15, 12:00–13:00 (Zoom)


In this talk, Bethan Burnside (Curo Agency, VIB) explores what it means to practise care‑centred science communication — an approach they ground in principles and protocols stemming from the disability justice movement, and in the belief that public trust in science grows through connection rather than correction.

Drawing on their work at the intersection of neuroscience, curation, and lived experience advocacy, Bethan argues that science communicators play an important relational role: tending to access, context, and the infrastructures that allow different communities to participate with research on their own terms. The talk invites audiences to rethink science communication not as persuasion, but as the slow, attentive work of building trust, belonging, and shared agency.
