About the Forum for Science Communication

Started in 2013, the Forum for Science Communication (FFF) is an annual conference aimed at science communicators, researchers, journalists as well as those active or interested in science communication.

FFF has developed into the largest Nordic conference for those working in science communication. The aim of the conference is to provide participants with inspiration, new knowledge about tools and methods for science communication and the opportunity to network and exchange experiences with others.

Forum for Science Communication 2024

The conference will be held on 27 November and theme for this year is “Mission: Democracy”, we will highlight different perspectives on the role of science communication and public engagement in strengthening democracy and building trust in society in a time of knowledge resistance, fake news and misinformation. We will also discuss the role of the science communications officer, the increased demand on the professional role, the impact of AI and how we can strengthen exchange and cooperation between communicators, researchers, the media and the surrounding society. The conference will be held in Stockholm and will be streamed online. Registrations will open in September.

Prior to the conference, in the afternoon of November 26, the finals of the national Researchers’ Grand Prix competition will be run.
