ACTS: Powering Team Science Through Strategic Communication
Powering Team Science Through Strategic Communication
The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) at UNC-Chapel Hill is excited to announce the next event from Accelerating Collaborative Team Science (ACTS) — a Team Science educational program.
ACTS functions as a connector, bridging the gap between researchers, coordinating centers, and other parties involved in practicing and promoting collaborative team science theory and practical applications across the scientific research landscape. With twenty years of experience coordinating team science efforts, RENCI provides a unique vantage point for those seeking to understand the role of the coordinating center and the challenges specific to large, geographically dispersed scientific teams.
In today’s complex research landscape, outstanding science capabilities are important, but they aren’t enough. For collaborative teams, the ability to drive real-world impacts relies on good science communications practices. In this follow-up to a previous webinar on bridging the gaps between science and the public, four science communication experts will engage in a series of mini-fireside chats and a Q and A, addressing how research teams can leverage science communication to accelerate collaboration, appropriately amplify discoveries, and connect meaningfully with those beyond their research fields.
This session will help collaborative science teams engage in the clear, consistent, audience-aware communications to advance research goals and translate their work to the larger scientific community and beyond. Join the RENCI ACTS team and their invited experts as they unpack the practices, mindsets, and strategies that make science communications such a force in collaborative research.
