Description: Science communication is a crucial tool for achieving positive societal impact. How can science communication become an integral part of our tasks as academic? How can Early Career Researchers learn how to do science communication in a meaningful way? How can we measure the impact of our science communication? The aim of the Gewaardeerd!(Rewarded!) project was to stimulate experienced science communicators, facilitate new initiatives, and gather insights for a national guidelines in effective science communication. Wieteke Willemen, together with ITC colleagues Arjan Dijkstra and Frank van Ruitenbeek teamed up to give science communication for global sustainability issues a boost.
The Rewarded! Guideline was published on 31 October 2022, helps knowledge institutions to recognize and reward scientists who are structurally involved in science communication and public engagement activities. The Science Communication by Scientists: Rewarded! pilot fund and enrichment programme has been made possible by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and was carried out by a project group within Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), under the guidance of the Rewarded! Advisory Board.
