A Berlin-based non-profit association dedicated to helping researchers communicate their findings — within the scientific community and to the broader world.
Get in touch →Researchers today navigate a rapidly expanding landscape of communication channels, formats, and audiences. Journals and conference papers remain essential, but the ability to engage beyond those channels — with policymakers, practitioners, journalists, and the public — has become equally important to the reach and relevance of research.
Effective communication is not a peripheral skill. It shapes careers, determines whether findings influence practice, and decides whether scientific knowledge stays locked within small peer networks or helps drive broader change. Yet researchers are rarely given structured support to develop these competencies.
ForschungsKommunikation – ResearchCommunication e.V. was founded to address exactly that gap.
Our work focuses on supporting researchers across career stages — from doctoral candidates and early-career researchers to established scientists — in developing and practicing communication skills across a range of contexts and audiences.
Strengthening communication within the research community to amplify the reach and impact of scientific work.
Supporting researchers in engaging with non-specialist audiences, from the general public to decision-makers.
Building the skills, networks, and resources researchers need at every stage of their career.
We welcome inquiries from researchers, institutions, and potential partner organizations. Whether you're interested in membership, collaboration, or simply learning more about our work — we'd love to hear from you.
