Abstract

Scientific dissemination has an important role in the development of a scientific culture, strengthening the relationship between scientific knowledge and its social role. This project aims to develop a scientific dissemination about the BINGO Telescope through scientific journalism, based on principles of a communication directed to build a scientific culture in cosmology. For this purpose we will promote scientific dissemination on digital plataforms- portal, social networks - through scientific journalism, in both articles and audiovisual format. We will count with the collaboration of the researchers associated to Labjor-Unicamp, BINGO, LABDECOM and NCE-USP, besides the Licenciatura em Educomunicacação faculty. The approximation between science (Cosmology), Communication and Educommunication can contribute to a content production capable of integrating communication, scientific dissemination and science education.
