Date: March 16, 2026
On March 16, Public & Science Sweden organises a webinar on how scholars and civil society can cooperate to strengthen the societal relevance of research. The webinar will take place on Zoom from 13:00 to 14:30 and will be held in Swedish.
Collaboration between researchers and society is increasingly recognised as a key part of making research more relevant and impactful. This webinar explores how scholars, research communicators, and actors outside academia can work together in ways that encourage dialogue, openness, and mutual learning around societal challenges.
The session will highlight co-creative approaches to research communication and discuss what is needed to support such collaborations over time, including organisational structures. It is particularly relevant for research communicators and others interested in strengthening long-term, meaningful collaboration between academia and civil society.
