Abstract

In 40 years of existence, Nudecri - Center for Creativity Development has made significant contributions to research in science and culture communication, being a pioneer in postgraduate courses in journalism and scientific dissemination. Current research projects cover socially relevant topics, including language, urban and technological relationships, climate change, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. This project aims to cover the main projects based in Nudecri, with a keen eye on the journalistic issues raised in recent years. The reports will be designed considering the role of researchers and the knowledge-building process, avoiding the portrayal of isolated results as representative of scientific work. The proposal includes written reports for the institutional websites of Labjor and Labeurb and podcast episodes for Oxigênio, as well as reports for the ComCiência magazine, edited and published by Labjor/Unicamp.
