Website ciência unifap e a comunicação pública na divulgação científica

Abstract

Science communication is how to expand access of scientific knowledge for society, in order to help solve various social problems and bring citizens closer to science independent of education level. The Federal University of Amapá-UNIFAP is noticeable the lack of disclosure in elaborate research. There are several professionals who perform great discoveries, but these are limited to the institutional environment, not taking into account the importance of informing the academic community and society on such research. In this sense, we present the experimental project called Science Scientific Journalism Agency UNIFAP. The proposal is to build a website with news content involving scientific and technological production of researchers from the Federal University of Amapá. The project was developed through a literature study of public and popular science communication, and the observation of institutional production performed by the communication sector UNIFAP. The content production took as a reference the specifics of web journalism, particularly the trend towards multimedia production, using accessible language, addressing the issues of public interest.
