Empowering Science Communication
Science communication plays a crucial role in demystifying complex scientific concepts for a broader audience, fostering understanding, engagement, and trust. At the Vesalius Innovation Award, we honour breakthroughs in science communication that empower individuals with knowledge and promote informed decision-making.
"In 2024, scholarly publishing is facing unprecedented challenges. All players should join forces to ensure research integrity in the long term and facilitate the best use of AI-based tools in a highly dynamic world. The Vesalius Innovation Award by Karger Publishers is a vehicle for that, making startups and their solutions visible and accessible to the community," said Karger CEO Daniel Ebneter.
