Abstract

Recognizing the social and journalistic importance of scientific research developed by research centers such as the Public Policy Studies Center of the State University of Campinas (NEPP - UNICAMP), especially due to the public interest, the quality of the science developed there and the importance of social control of public policies, this research intends to develop communication strategies (such as preparation of press releases mailings and informative videos, workshops with the community of researchers of the Center, restructuring of website and social networks) that will allow to broaden scientific dissemination on the theme, in particular through the production of journalistic content related to the scientific activity of the Center, in vehicles such as the Brazilian science magazine ComCiência.
