Communication Service
Communicating science can be challenging, but not for our Communication team. We all know the saying: "If something is not communicated, it doesn't exist." That’s why our team focuses on developing ideas, planning, organising, and coordinating both internal and external communication for our institution, ensuring that information about what we do reaches everyone. They contribute to our visibility by following established regulations and procedures, and play an active role in positioning our brand as a solid and reputable R&D institution. How? Through an approach focused on five main components: content, design and multimedia, events, participation in communication working groups, and dissemination of national or European projects, as well as translation. The Communication team ensures that scientific communication gets the attention it deserves, fostering stronger bonds with civil society and fighting misinformation.
