Science communication is an increasingly important aspect of research. However, science communication usually refers to natural sciences or STEM, and little is known about public communication of the social sciences and humanities (SSH), including communication of legal research. On the other hand, researchers in the law and SSH are often portrayed as commentators rather than scientific experts.
To address this gap, the University of Coimbra Institute for Legal Research (UCILeR) is organizing the I Legal SciComm Conference: Communicating Legal Research. This is a conference on the communication of legal research, as part of the Communication of Legal Research (Legal SciComm) project, to be held on 30 November 2023, at the Colégio da Trindade (Faculty of Law, University of Coimbra), Portugal.
For this event a call for papers has been launched.
