In April 2024, SynCom organized a workshop at the Bridging Spheres Pop-up Campus, an inspiring Helmholtz event on science communication.
Thirty participants from all seven Helmholtz Earth and Environment Centres came together in Garmisch-Partenkirchen to learn about research statements (workshop by Dr. Viola Gerlach, RIFS), writing a policy brief (workshop by Matthias Tang, RIFS), audio storytelling (workshop by Marie Heidenreich and Dr. Katharina Sielemann, SynCom) as well as stakeholder dialogues and career opportunities in science communication. The participants positively emphasized both, the concept and the networking aspect, of the successful event ‘Bridging Spheres Pop-up Campus’.
