Communication and Stakeholder Engagement
The communication and involvement of stakeholders is a topic that continues to gain importance in health research and is increasingly becoming a concern not only for professional communicators, but also for researchers themselves. Trust between research institutions and their stakeholders, between research and society, must be constantly rebuilt. Communication that creates transparency is therefore essential.
Wiebke Lesch, TMFThe increasing complexity of large-scale research projects means that more and more stakeholder groups are involved. The success of these projects depends on whether it is possible to integrate the perspectives of all stakeholders.
Introduction of the Workgroup
The TMF Science Communication Workgroup is a platform that promotes the communication and social discussion of publicly funded biomedical research. Members of the workgroup are primarily those responsible for communication in medical research networks and institutions, but also science managers and scientists themselves. The focus is on the exchange of experience, actions and further training on strategic science and health communication.
