ENJOI - Engagement and Journalism Innovation for Outstanding Open Science Communication

ENJOI (ENgagement and JOurnalism Innovation for Outstanding Open Science Communication) will explore and test engagement as a key asset of innovation in science communication. ENJOI will co-create and select a set of standards, principles and indicators (SPIs) and a Manifesto to pave the way to Outstanding Open Science Communication through a combination of different methodologies. It will also build an Observatory as its landmark product to host and make available all results and outputs, to foster capacity building and collaboration in the long term with all involved producers, users and stakeholders who work in science communication or can benefit from it. To get there, ENJOI consortium will work with a variety of science information producers, users and stakeholders to develop original research and participatory methodologies to assess science communication in four countries: Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain, taking into account different cultural contexts. ENJOI will deploy a series of actions, via Engagement Workshops, Labs, research, evaluation and testing phases, that will increase participants’ capacity to express their information needs and demands for high standards in quality contents. ENJOI’s ultimate goal is that of improving science communication by making it more consistently reliable, truthful, open, engaging and useful. At the same time, ENJOI will contribute to the development of critical thinking, digital awareness.
