Edited by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Dan Kahan, and Dietram A. Scheufele (Oxford University Press, 2017) In an era of climate denial, vaccine hesitancy, and viral conspiracy theories, it is tempting to assume that the solution lies in providing more information, more data, more facts. The Oxford Handbook of the Science of Science Communication makes a […]

Few books have reshaped not just academic fields, but the very way we think about knowledge itself. Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one such rare and seismic work. First published in 1962 and now celebrated in this 50th Anniversary Edition, Kuhn’s book remains as provocative, relevant, and widely debated as ever.

The Great Paradox of Generative AI Large language models continue to impress with their ability to converse like real humans—fluidly, convincingly, and often with remarkable depth. They can explain quantum physics in layman’s terms, summarise hundreds of pages of text, or hold a conversation that sounds like you’re speaking with an expert. And yet, beneath

From “PDF Folders” to Intelligent Research Assistants In almost every research project, there comes a point when the documentation begins to outweigh the science itself. Work packages, methodologies, ethics protocols, reports, internal memos, multiple document revisions—formally everything is there, but in practice, knowledge is “locked away” in dozens of files. A new PhD student doesn’t

In the coming years, Horizon Europe, the European Union’s flagship research and innovation programme, will place strong emphasis on one of its most ambitious initiatives: the Mission “Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030.” Far more than a classic environmental project, this mission represents a systemic effort to connect science, innovation, policy, and society in

In today’s Europe, science, innovation, and public policy often unfold not just in labs, universities, or testbeds, but between the lines of forms, annexes, and reports. Flagship EU funding programmes like Horizon Europe and the European Structural and Investment Funds rank among the most ambitious instruments in the world for supporting knowledge, technology, and societal

In an era of exponential growth in scientific publishing, the literature on any given topic can quickly balloon to hundreds—or even thousands—of papers. The traditional, manual approach to literature reviews has become increasingly unmanageable for individual researchers without significant support. In response, the past year has seen a rapid evolution of intelligent assistant technologies that

A tiny banner, a missing logo, a vaguely worded sentence on a website or a Facebook post. At first glance—just a minor oversight. But in the context of EU-funded projects, such a “communication error” can have very real consequences: up to 3% deducted from your approved grant. This isn’t a metaphor or an empty bureaucratic

Communication in EU-funded projects is no longer a peripheral task. It is a legal obligation, a strategic tool – and, if handled poorly, a real source of financial risk. One of the most frequently asked questions by beneficiaries and communication teams may sound simple but is tricky in practice: when must the European Commission be

One of the most common paradoxes in today’s European-funded projects goes something like this: the idea is strong, the results are tangible, the team is competent—yet the communication falls short. The project formally meets its objectives, the reports are in order, the indicators are achieved—but there’s still a lingering feeling that “no one really understood
