Wetenschnapps XXL: science communication in theory and practice

In January 2025, around 200 professionals and researchers exchanged expertise on science communication and public engagement for a day. They explored with each other what lessons from research mean for real-world practice, and what questions and insights from practice mean for research. This was an extra-large, national edition of the long-running Wetenschnapps series, which focuses on knowledge exchange in this network. The day was organized by SciCom NL, UMC Utrecht and Utrecht University.

“What a great day, so great that this is being facilitated. I think this is important myself, but on a day like today I feel like I'm part of a community that thinks this is important too and that is so wonderful.”
