New manual on communicating forest science - call for volunteers

Building upon the popular 'Communicating Forest Science' manual published almost a decade ago, the IUFRO Working Party on Communications and Public Relations has set to revisit this precious resource to make it aligned with the latest trends. The new manual aims at equipping scientists and science communicators with knowledge on communication theory and practice. Drawing upon the digital tools, the revamped manual will be exclusively available online thus giving possibilities to easily link to external resources, embed other digital materials like podcasts and videos and finally make it a living resource to be updated as needed. 

The team is looking for additional volunteers to produce the revamped manual in time for the IUFRO Congress in June 2024. Ideally, candidates would come from within the IUFRO network or are experienced forest science communicators who know IUFRO. If you are interested, please contact Ewa Hermanowicz, the Working Party leader at <e.hermanowicz@fsc.org>. We particularly encourage applications from members from the Global South.

To receive further updates on this topic, we encourage you to subscribe to the IUFRO Working Party on Communications and Public Relations mailing list
