Call for Applications SMUS Science Communication Projects 2026
The Science Communication Hub (SciCom Hub) is pleased to announce this Call for Science Communication Projects (SCPs) 2026.
The SciCom Hub within SMUS provides a space for researchers and practitioners working on diverse topics to develop innovative science communication projects that use visuals, stories, and other (interactive) formats to make concepts and ideas more easily understandable for people inside and outside academia.
By involving residents, decision-makers, artists, researchers, and others in co-creating diverse media (maps, digital content, audio/video), these projects bring together different ways of knowing and feeling the long-term impacts in urban areas.
This shared work helps people see how environmental damage, social inequality, health, and policy are interlinked, supporting a more inclusive and pluralistic understanding of wicked urban problems.
The theme of the current cycle is:
EC(h)OTONING – exploring thick edges
