Throughout our academic journeys, we made a striking observation: future scientists — whether at bachelor, master, PhD or postdoctoral level — receive little to no training in communicating their research to the general public.

The ability to simplify complex concepts and make them accessible is rarely taught, yet it is essential to bringing science closer to society. This gap poses real problems: researchers often feel ill-prepared to address audiences outside academic circles. As a result, the divide between science and society deepens, leading to public disengagement on crucial issues and opening the door to misinformation.

Convinced of the power of images and narrative, we support young scientists at different stages of their careers — from the fundamentals of scientific communication and storyboard writing, through to filming, editing and mastering video tools. These programmes are delivered in universities, universities of applied sciences, and engineering schools in Switzerland and internationally.
