Since 2023, Stiftung Charité has been providing Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin with funding to develop and implement the SciComm@Charité training program which represents a central strand of its funding activities in the field of Open Life Science. The program is a response to the rising societal and political demands encountered by life scientists when it comes to communicating their research. With this funding, the Charité is the first and only medical school in Germany to offer tailored in-house communications training for both its medics and researchers in the life sciences. The project is led by Dr. Julia Drews from Corporate Communications at the Charité. To mark three years of funding partnership, we met with Drews and research scientist Dr. Luisa Denkel for a FACES interview at the Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine at Campus Benjamin Franklin.
