Diversity Lunch: On hostility in science communication – a workshop with Scicomm Support
Wednesday, 04 February 2026, 10:00 - 12:00 (s.t.!) Organized by Equal Opportunities

Hostility in science communication?

How to deal specifically with hate speech and hostility towards science:

A workshop with the support and advice network Scicomm-Sup

Hostility towards science and hate speech against scientists, science communicators and scientific institutions has increased noticeably, not least due to the coronavirus pandemic. But how can science communicators respond to such attacks, prepare for them and find support? This workshop offers insights into the topic, presents the advice and support services of the national contact point Scicomm-Support, offers space for exchange and initial practical options for action.

 
Scicomm Support provides support and advice to scientists and science communicators during attacks and unobjective conflicts in science communication. More information about Scicomm Support can be found online: www.scicomm-support.de.
