Abstract

The main objective of this project is to structure and execute a press office strategy for the Coordination of Interdisciplinary Research Centers and Nuclei (COCEN) at Unicamp. The focus will be on the qualified dissemination of research, events, and activities developed by the 23 centers and nuclei that comprise the COCEN system, through the production and distribution of press releases, organization of interviews, media relations management, and monitoring of publications. The strategy will also include the active maintenance of the institutional website and social media, combining journalistic language with scientific accuracy. The project is expected to significantly increase the media visibility of Unicamp's interdisciplinary research, promote public engagement with science, and strengthen COCEN's image as a reference in scientific production with social impact.
