Complex research presents communication challenges. There's a lot of cutting edge, high-level research happening, but key breakthroughs often get lost in translation.   The EU Missions 🇪🇺 are trying to bridge this information gap, leveraging citizen science and highlighting the societal impact of research. However, making this happen is easier said than done!   Let’s explore one of our projects to see how effective science communication can help to guarantee the legacy of the EU Soil Mission. 🌱   Find out why science communication is key to advancing the #MissionSoil 👉https://lnkd.in/dEauwzGf   #EUMissions #Soil #ScienceCommunication #TechnopolisExperts #VitaminT   Mathilde Bazin-Retours, ORCaSa project, Soil Carbon IRC ARCTIK - Communication for Sustainability
