We’re delighted to announce the launch of Scicomm – a joint science communication undertaking from Robohub and AIhub

Scicomm.io is a science communication undertaking which goals to empower individuals to share tales about their robotics and AI work. The undertaking is a joint effort from Robohub and AIhub, each of that are academic platforms devoted to connecting the robotics and AI communities to the remainder of the world.

This undertaking focuses on coaching the following era of communicators in robotics and AI to construct a powerful reference to the surface world, by offering efficient communication instruments.

Folks working within the area are creating an infinite array of techniques and applied sciences. Nevertheless, on account of a relative lack of top of the range, neutral info within the mainstream media, most people obtain rather a lot hyped information which finally ends up inflicting concern and / or unrealistic expectations surrounding these applied sciences.

Scicomm.io has been created to facilitate the connection between the robotics and AI world and the remainder of the world via educating the way to set up truthful, trustworthy and hype-free communication. One which brings profit to each side.

With our sequence of bite-sized movies you may rapidly study science communication for robotics and AI. Discover out why science communication is vital, the way to discuss to the media, and about a number of the alternative ways in which you’ll talk your work. We’ve additionally produced guides with suggestions for turning your analysis into weblog submit and for avoiding hype when selling your analysis.

Coaching

Coaching the following era of science communicators is a vital mission for scicomm.io (and certainly Robohub and AIhub). As a part of scicomm.io, we run coaching programs to empower researchers to speak about their work. When finished properly, tales about AI and robotics may also help improve the visibility and affect of the work, result in new connections, and even elevate funds. Nevertheless, most researchers don’t have interaction in science communication, on account of a scarcity of abilities, time, and attain that makes the trouble worthwhile.

With our workshops we goal to beat these boundaries and make speaking robotics and AI ‘straightforward’. That is finished via quick coaching classes with specialists, and hands-on sensible workout routines to assist college students start their science communication journey with confidence.

A digital scicomm workshop in motion.

Through the workshops, members will hear why science communication issues, study the essential methods of science communication, construct a narrative round their very own analysis, and learn the way to attach with journalists and different communicators. We’ll additionally talk about completely different science communication media, the way to use social media, the way to put together weblog posts, movies and press releases, the way to keep away from hype, and the way to talk work to a basic viewers.
