About

The Master in Science Communication is the result of a partnership between ITQB NOVA and Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, both from Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

This MsC degree focuses on the communication of science in an essentially practical perspective, considering three main channels of communication: research institutions, educational institutions and the media.

During the curricular part of the masters students have the opportunity to discuss the relationship between science and society and the responsibility of scientists in this relationship, to understand the evolution of the concept of science communication, to learn and train tools of strategic communication and journalism and to contact examples of successful communication projects.

In addition to those responsible for the different curricular units, the Master in Science Communication counts on the participation of Portuguese scientists and communicators of science .

Coordinators: Ana Sanchez (ITQB NOVA) and António Granado (FCSH NOVA)

 

Objectives

1. To raise awareness of the importance of science communication , in a society increasingly dependent on science and technology;

2. Educate and promote enthusiasm in future communication and education professionals through the communication of science in its various forms;

3. Establish communication of science as an integral part of the reality of Portuguese institutions, endowing them with specialized professionals in this area.

 

Course units

Science and Scientists

1st semester | Ana Sanchez, ITQB NOVA

To communicate science it is important to understand what science is - who does it, what it consists of, how it is financed, what is its validity, what challenges and responsibilities lie with scientists. In this seminar the students contact with different aspects and phases of the practice of science. By the end of the semester students should understand the way scientific knowledge progresses and the constraints to which it is subject.

Focusing in particular on the exact and natural sciences, the seminar looks into the research methods; the importance of the validity of the results (statistical concepts); peer review; fundamental and applied research; the scientist's responsibilities in the scientific process; and its role in communicating science.

The seminar also includes the participation of researchers from different areas who will be invited to discuss specific aspects of their area of ​​research.

 
Science Journalism

1st semester | António Granado, FCSH NOVA

In this seminar students will be able to communicate with the different genres of journalism (news, report and profile) in the specific area of ​​science journalism, and they will learn to produce texts with quality to be published in newspapers/news sites nationwide.

It is intended that the students:

Perceive and internalize the differences between the various journalistic genres;

Be able to carry out a correct collection of information for the publication of journalistic texts in the area of ​​science;
Get to know deeply the working methods and constraints of the science journalist profession;
Be aware of the profound transformations of this field with the advent of the Internet;
Try some of the new tools that have helped to change the role of journalists in newsrooms, both in producing new content and in getting closer to sources and readers.

 

Techniques and Practices in Science Communication

1st semester | Joana Lobo Antunes (ITQB NOVA) and Paulo Nuno Vicente (FCSH NOVA) 

Discussion of principles, techniques, examples and cases of study of Science Communication in Museums and Science Centers and in research institutes. Use of Social Networks and multimedia content for Science Communication (Joana Lobo Antunes).

Multimedia Communication of Science; concepts, techniques and practices (Paulo Nuno Vicente).

Design, development and production of multimedia content for the communication of science in the context of research institute or museum / science center.

 

Communication of Science and Education

2nd semester | Carlos Catalão (Ciência Viva, invited professor at FCSH NOVA)
Principles and techniques of science communication in an educational environment: implications for scientific education and for the interaction between the scientific and educational communities. History of ideas in science education from the twentieth century - current trends in science teaching.

The experimental teaching of sciences and scientific communication - involvement of the public in direct interaction with the physical and natural world. Observation and experimentation in the communication of science in an educational environment.

The communication of science in non-formal educational environments: museums and science centers; libraries, foundations, agencies and other organizations with educational mission.

Communication of science and education in scientific organizations. Networks of cooperation between the scientific community and the school community. Communication of science and lifelong learning - the publics of science.

Design, development and production of scientific communication resources for education.

 

Science and Society

2nd semester | Maria Inês Queiroz (FCSH NOVA)

The aim of this unit is to characterize and understand the implications of knowledge and scientific production in society starting from a culture of historical basis that allows a critical analysis of current reality and perspectives of future challenges of science to society.

To stimulate the ability to identify and analyze processes of knowledge construction, its transmission and appropriation by society, taking into account the demands and problems that arise in this field.

Identify the diversity of mechanisms and interactions between science and society, in the historical and present perspective, covering areas such as ethics and risk, but also the mechanisms of apprehension and transmission of scientific knowledge, namely: the means and channels of diffusion of this knowledge, forms of dissemination (scientific literature, "popularization of science", museums) and other ways such as the institutionalization of science.

 
Strategic Communication of Science

2nd semester | Luis Veríssimo (Manhattan Project, invited professor at FCSH NOVA)

Amidst the deafening noise of available information, communicating any message to the public becomes a challenge. Science communication can no longer be a hobby of some scientists to become a specialized activity in institutions. This unit aims to reflect on the reality of communication in other domains of society and from that draw a new paradigm for science communication. The main topics of this curricular unit are:

• Marketing and communication;
• Science, the brand, communication in science and the public;
• Strategic planning of communication in science;
• The new trends in Marketing and Communication;
• The creativity, means and media of communication, events applied to the communication of science;
• The internal and external relations of a scientific institution

This unit also includes a laboratory with examples, exercises, analysis of actions of communication in science, development of an integrated project of communication in science.
