Abstract

This journalistic research proposal aims to create a communication plan for the Laboratory of Technological Change, Energy, and Environment (LABMEM), with especial emphasis on the research project "CRAFTing Responsible Tin: A Path to Ethical and Sustainable Mining Practices in the Brazilian Amazon." LABMEM is a certified research group on CNPq since 1990 and is associated with the Department of Science and Technology Policy (DPCT), at the Institute of Geosciences, Unicamp. Dr. Jean Miguel, one of LABMEM coordinators, and other Institute of Geosciences' researchers had funding approved by the European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM) to support the above-cited project until the year 2027. The project is studying artisanal mining of cassiterite in the Brazilian Amazon and the broader theme of sustainable mining. The execution of the journalistic research proposal aims to: i. create a communication plan for LABMEM; ii. Cover the events organized by the group and interview the researchers involved; iii. create journalistic content of public interest on audio, text, and video about LABMEM's activities and around the themes of energy transition and sustainable mining in Brazil. This content is going to be published at Jornal da Unicamp, Oxigênio Podcast, on Youtube and on LABMEM's social networks and website.
