Universities, science communication and professionalism

December 13, 2017 | Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks, Informal/Formal Connections
This essay examines several distinct roles universities play in science communication, with particular reference to professionalisation in the field. It identifies the ways in which universities have facilitated, even driven, that continuing process. But it also notes the potential and actual contradictions between some of the roles of universities, reflecting current developments in higher education across many different contexts.
