Dissemination and communication of research should be considered as an integral part of any research project. Both help in increasing the visibility of research outputs, public engagement in science and innovation, and confidence of society in research. Effective dissemination and communication are vital to ensure that the conducted research has a social, political, or economical impact. They draw attention of governments and stakeholders to research results and conclusions, enhancing their visibility, comprehension, and implementation. In the European project SOPHIE (Evaluating the Impact of Structural Policies on Health Inequalities and Their Social Determinants and Fostering Change), dissemination was an essential component of the project in order to achieve the purpose of fostering policy change based on research findings. Here we provide our experience and make some recommendations based on our learning. A strong use of online communication (website, Twitter, and Slideshare accounts), the production of informative videos, the research partnership with civil society organizations, and the organization of final concluding scientific events, among other instruments, helped to reach a large public within the scientific community, civil society, and the policy making arena and to influence the public view on the impact on health and equity of certain policies.
研究成果的传播与交流应被视为任何研究项目不可或缺的一部分。两者都有助于提高研究成果的知名度、公众对科学与创新的参与度以及社会对研究的信心。有效的传播与交流对于确保所开展的研究产生社会、政治或经济影响至关重要。它们能吸引政府和利益相关者关注研究结果与结论,提高其可见性、可理解性并促进其实施。在欧洲项目SOPHIE(评估结构政策对健康不平等及其社会决定因素的影响并推动变革)中,传播是该项目的一个重要组成部分,目的是基于研究结果推动政策变革。在此,我们分享经验并根据所学提出一些建议。大量运用在线交流方式(网站、推特和幻灯片分享账户)、制作信息丰富的视频、与民间社会组织建立研究伙伴关系以及组织最终的总结性科学活动等手段,有助于在科学界、民间社会和政策制定领域接触到广大公众,并影响公众对某些政策对健康和公平性影响的看法。
