Abstract

The Research, Innovation, and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat)engages in various activities in research, innovation and technology transfer, as well in science andscientific communication since its establishment in 2013. Since then, the Center has built asignificant legacy, available through annual reports and other sources. These records highlights itcontributions in fostering a scientific culture though they are not consistently presented in formatsthat facilitate broad access and support a deeper understanding of the project. To make its historymore accessible to diverse audiences, including decision-makers, this project intends to usestorytelling and data storytelling techniques, presenting NeuroMat's progress in an engaging way.Additionally, theoretical efforts focus on exploring the connections between the Center'scommunication strategies, including its media presence and public engagement with Wikipediacontent, analyzing themes and trends over time.
