Backgrounds

The current project of the Science Communication Unit (UCC) at the ICN began in 2008. Since then, its work has been based on three complementary and mutually reinforcing activities:
  1. The practical realization of communication materials and actions, especially, regarding scientific research being developed at ICN.
  2. Theoretical and methodological analysis of projects and actions regarding public communication of science and technology, supported on Science, Technology, and Society (CTS in Spanish).
  3. Academic research on the different paradigms and models of public communication of science and technology.

Science Communication from the ICN

Science communication is often conceived as a multidisciplinary task that consists of creating discourses with which the public can understand and learn about science and technology topics to awaken their interest and recognize the importance of science and technology in their lives. The objective of this perspective is to promote a favorable attitude of the public towards science and technology.
UCC-ICN perspective is different. For us, public communication of science and technology is a professional and interdisciplinary discipline that seeks to manage dialogue and negotiations between social groups that, voluntarily or involuntarily, are involved with an aspect related to technoscientific development to generate relationships of coexistence among all participants. Our communicative objective is intercultural, there is no viability of technoscientific communities without ecological and social viability, and vice versa.
