Public Engagement with Science

Public engagement with science refers to the ways in which scientists and institutions communicate scientific knowledge and research to the general public. This can involve activities like community events, educational programs, social media outreach, and collaborative projects, aimed at making science accessible and relevant. The goal is to foster understanding, encourage critical thinking, and promote informed decision-making on scientific issues that impact society, such as health, climate change, and technology. By engaging the public, scientists can also gather diverse perspectives, enrich research discussions, and build trust within communities.
