[Junge Akademie] Fünf Leitpunkte der Wissenschaftskommunikation

Written by

Wie wichtig eine fundierte Wissenschaftskommunikation ist, hat jüngst die akute Krisensituation der Covid-19-Pandemie gezeigt. Aber nicht nur: Auch für die gesellschaftlichen Diskussionen über effiziente Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels oder Fragen der sozialen Gerechtigkeit ist fundiertes, aktuelles Wissen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen der Wissenschaft notwendig.

Damit die Kommunikation zwischen Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Medien so gut wie möglich gelingt, hat die Projektgruppe „Wissen kommunizieren“ der Jungen Akademie nach Gesprächen mit zahlreichen Expert*innen fünf Leitpunkte für Wissenschaftskommunikation erarbeitet. Die Leitpunkte plädieren für eine klare Trennung von Faktengrundlage, Wissensstand und Wertung, machen sich für eine realistische Einordnung von Extremwerten in der Debatte stark und wollen Kommunizierende ermutigen, der Öffentlichkeit mehr Komplexität zuzutrauen. So kann der öffentliche Diskurs sachlicher werden.

Der Leitfaden „Wissen kommunizieren: Leitpunkte aus der Jungen Akademie“ ist hier zum Download verfügbar. Unter der Creative-Commons-Lizenz CC BY­-ND 4.0 sind alle dazu eingeladen, den Leitfaden unter Namensnennung zu verwenden, zu verbreiten und selbst online zu stellen.
