European Summer School on Science Communication 2025

July 28-30, 2025, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

So why should you join?

Science plays a crucial role in shaping our world, but effectively communicating research beyond the academic sphere is more important than ever. In an era of information overload, strong science communication helps build trust, engage diverse audiences, and ensure that evidence-based knowledge informs public discussions. The European Summer School brings together young scientists to explore innovative ways of sharing their work, making complex ideas accessible, and fostering meaningful dialogue. Join us to gain practical skills, connect with like-minded researchers, and become a more confident and impactful science communicator.

The ES3C brings together young scientists to give them an idea on how to communicate their science.

Diversity

The ES3C brings together people from all over the world to discuss science communication, share ideas and build lasting networks. We are looking for a variety of topics, people and audiences. Thus the topic of 2025 – DIVERSITY.

Application
