European Summer School on Science Communication 2022
July 18-22, 2022, 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.
Topics
The European Summer School on Science Communication covers a broad range of topics. In addition all participants will start a science communication project.

Lecturers
The European Summer School on Science Communication will feature experienced science communicators who will cover a broad range of science communication formats.
Marcus Bleicher is a professor for Theoretical Physics at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Being the head of various research programs he is interested in getting the science out of the ivory tower into the public – mostly in the digital space.
Tanja Desch is the head of ProLOEWE, the network of LOEWE research initiatives in Hesse, Germany. Since 2017, she has been leading the administrative office at the University of Kassel, coordinating efforts to enhance collaboration among various research centers and clusters. Her work fosters integration among LOEWE projects and promotes the visibility of cutting-edge research in Hesse.
Marcel Geibel is a videographer and founder of Image Engineering, a multimedia production company specializing in image films, documentaries, live streaming, and photography. With a focus on creating content with a clear concept, Marcel offers comprehensive services that maximize the amount of content produced per shoot. His expertise includes multimedial project development and support in content marketing, particularly through social media channels.
Till Kuske is the head of the “Hessisches Radonzentrum”, responsible to communicate the topic of Radon and its implications to the public in the state of Hessen. In this role, he oversees the institute’s communication strategies, media relations, and public outreach initiatives.
Manuel studied biochemistry and molecular biology and completed his doctorate in 2017. As a long-time science slammer, he dedicated himself to science communication during this time and was also active as a lecturer in student laboratories and as a freelance trainer. After his doctorate, he worked for a while as Science Communication Officer at the Luxembourg Center of Systems Biomedicine. Since 2021, he has been Head of Communications and Public Relations at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen. It is important to him that scientific topics are made accessible to a broad audience outside the academic world.
In his interactive workshops, Manuel shows how complex content can be explained in an understandable way. Efficient and targeted presentation techniques, but also scientific and popular science writing are the main topics in his courses. He also organizes and moderates science slams at regional and national level.
Emilia Miller is running SCINECT, an agency dedicated to transforming science communication. With a mission to bring science out of the academic bubble, she collaborates with researchers and institutions to make scientific knowledge more accessible and engaging to the public. Emilia is also known for her active presence on social media, where she shares insights and strategies on effective science communication. Her passion and innovative approach are helping to reshape how science connects with society.
Sascha Vogel is a theoretical physicist and science communicator, with a background in nuclear and particle physics. His career started in science, then he went to science management and ended up in science communication. He founded an agency for science communication, which successfully runs projects and workshops since 2019.
