About the Workshop

Scientific advancements are transforming every aspect of modern society—from healthcare and environmental sustainability to artificial intelligence, agriculture, governance, and industrial innovation. While research and innovation continue to expand at an unprecedented pace, communicating these developments accurately and meaningfully to the public remains a significant challenge. In an era where misinformation spreads rapidly through digital platforms, responsible science communication has become more important than ever.

Journalists and media professionals serve as a vital bridge between the scientific community and society. Their ability to interpret research findings, explain complex scientific concepts, and present evidence-based information in an accessible manner directly influences public understanding, policy discourse, and informed decision-making. Strengthening these capabilities is essential for fostering scientific temper and promoting informed civic engagement.

Recognizing this need, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, S.A.G.E. University, Bhopal, in association with the Madhya Pradesh Council of Science & Technology (MPCST), is organizing a Two-Day National Workshop on "Communicating Science: Strengthening Scientific Journalism for a Knowledge-Based Society."

The workshop is designed as a platform for learning, dialogue, and collaboration between journalists, media educators, researchers, scientists, students, and communication professionals. Through expert lectures, interactive discussions, practical exercises, and case studies, participants will develop the knowledge and skills required to communicate science accurately, ethically, and effectively across multiple media platforms.
