🚀 [EVENT] CORE EU-funded Project's Session at EGU23 🚀

📰 We are happy to inform you that CORE EU-funded Project has been accepted to organise the session "Science communication & citizen science to increase risk perception and awareness" in the next European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2023 in Vienna (and online), next April 23-28.

🔗 The session will be co-organised by European Geosciences Union (EGU)'s GM13 - Education & Outreach in Geomorphology (programme group scientific officer: Philippe Steer).
The convener will be Maria Vittoria Gargiulo, PhD (Università degli Studi di Salerno - Geo&SismoLabUnisa), supported by three co-conveners: Irina Dallo (ETH Zürich), Laure Fallou (Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC)), Maike Vollmer (Fraunhofer INT & RiskPacc Project Coordinator).

📚 About the TOPIC 📚

The effectiveness of risk mitigation depends not only on the scientific community (e.g., hazard assessments) but also on how well-informed & prepared societies (the general public, authorities, media, etc) are about the risk itself. It is thus crucial to train the (local and national) population enabling them to increase their preparedness for disasters & , consequently, improve society’s resilience.
For this purpose, science communication & citizen science are becoming increasingly significant in an era challenged by various uncertainties. Thereby scientists & experts play an important role in establishing certainty in the public opinion field & in improving the communication efforts of the institution in charge of public communication.
It is therefore of fundamental importance, for the scientific & civil community, to disseminate information on risk to create greater individual awareness & sensitivity, & to enable all citizens to make a tangible contribution to society resilience through virtuous behaviour in everyday life, even outside the school/work environment.

💡 About the SESSION 💡

This session is dedicated to scientists, science communicators, & practitioners with a particular focus on Early Career Scientists.
The aim of the session is to create a space for discussion on both best practices & theoretical approaches when practicing science communication or citizen science.
Welcomed are submissions exploring different means for sharing or producing risk information related to natural or/and anthropogenic hazards taking into account different aspects (e.g., stakeholders, cultural context, temporality, uncertainties).
Of special interest are contributions addressing the dynamics of risk communication from preparing over responding to recovering from a crisis.
Moreover, communications on how to evaluate the impacts of such efforts & how to include science communication in a scientist's daily activity are welcome.
