Applied science communication module for the sake of our Science Shops

In a Science Shop, a great amount of success relies on communication, specifically on science communication. Communication impacts the very beginning of the process (how to contact with communities you can collaborate with), and it should be very well led through the research design and during the research as well – unless you can’t effectively co-conduct your research with the various kinds of organizations or civil society groups you work with in a Science Shop. Good science communication underpins the engagement of the society for research, such as the engagement of policymakers. It also increases the impact of the research in the local environment of the civil society group involved in the research. Science communication also develops the mutual learning process of the stakeholders of community-based research.

How to assess the healing power of nature? – Impact evaluation process in a Hungarian school garden

In the spring of 2018, at ESSRG we collected research needs related to green care services (therapeutic approaches which integrate the power of nature). Reviewing the claims, we perceived that the key players of this field had lacked the impact evaluation researches that would have verified the effectiveness of these services and the healing power of nature.
