European Summer School on Science Communication 2026

September 21-23, 2026, Frankfurt a.M., 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.
