We regularly run events about fun science communication (check when the next event is).\nIf you fancy, there are cool science communication events you could attend across London listed on our page, feel free to sign up for them (you can make videos or write blogs about the event, too).\nAnd of course, if you are science communication pro, join our core team, and help shape the Society.\n","date":"16 February 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/","section":"Welcome To the Science Communication Society","summary":"","title":"Welcome To the Science Communication Society","type":"page"},{"content":"There are 20 000 STEM students in imperial. Many of them will become researchers, and even if not, all of them want to make a difference in their field.\nBut if all those imperial students truly want to make a responsible impact, they would benefit greatly from learning more about engaging ‘the public’ with science.\nSo, we were thinking, why don’t we all take some of the stuff that we have been learning in our specialised course, and give them this additional dimension next to their studies?\nSo, with this in mind we are starting Imperial’s first science communication society. We believe that our knowledge is useful to every student, and the more people that know about science communication, the more useful science will be for our society.\nThe first goal is to bring every student interested in exploring science communication together. We will organise fun interactive workshops, talks from your favourite celebrity scientist and an annual symposium. We also want to assist student communicators in their own projects and ideas during brainstorming sessions.\nApart from skill-building in young communicators, we would also like to help motivated science communicators by connecting them with professional science communicators and bodies such as ABSW, PCST, etc. There are avenues to set up a mentor-mentee programme for more tailored support.\nWe believe that communities can make a difference. We found that student science communicators are sort of fragmented across the university; we hope to bring them all under an umbrella to critically think about science communication as a field and its evolution.\nWhile we are cooking up a lot of big events, we can also start small, turning ideas generated in our class into pilot projects. Besides our events, we can also discuss important issues in science communication, like why science communication does not get the same kind of traction in universities such as Imperial, where every time you have to explain what science communication is whenever you introduce yourselves.\nWe are generously being funded by two professors who would like to see visionaries thinking about science communication, public engagement, and open science, to address the global challenges of the present: misinformation, inequities of climate change, public health, ethics of science, etc., across the world.\n","date":"16 February 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/blog/why-did-we-start-soc/","section":"scicommsoc Blog","summary":"","title":"Why Did We Start scicommsoc?","type":"blog"},{"content":"Looking to find your next science event to attend?

However, as we see specifically in moments of crisis – like climate change, pandemics, or geopolitical instability – scientific knowledge needs to become part of public debate and personal choices. Hence, every student, regardless of study programme or educational background, can contribute positively to society by learning how to engage the public with (their own) science. Imperial’s research is not only cutting-edge but also addresses pressing questions relevant to society. Effective science communication improves trust and mutual understanding, and amplifies that research’s impact on people, thereby truly achieving science for humanity.\nSuch science communication can take many forms.
