SciComm Academy Lunch Talks
Free online science communication lectures
Every month, we invite science communicators, researchers, journalists and creative practitioners to share concrete insights into public engagement, media, storytelling, ethics, educational tools and research impact.
The talks are practical, interdisciplinary and open to researchers from all scientific fields. The programme is bilingual, with sessions in English and Dutch.
What to expect
Concrete ideas over abstract theory
Lunch Talks are short, accessible and focused on practice. Speakers share lessons from real projects, media work, public engagement formats, creative collaborations or science communication research.
For speakers
Have a project, question or case worth sharing?
We are always looking for thoughtful speakers and fresh topics. A strong Lunch Talk does not need to be a polished success story; it can also open up a dilemma, method, experiment or difficult question.

Shape the next Lunch Talk
Have a topic, speaker or case in mind?
A good Lunch Talk can start from many things: a strong project, a difficult ethical question, a creative format, a failed experiment, a communication dilemma or a practical method others could learn from.
You do not need a fully polished proposal. A sharp idea or an interesting person is enough to start the conversation.
