© EPTA, version 20 Oct 2012; provided by ITA The Rathenau Instituut publishes scientific
reports, background studies and Research Briefs to provide politicians and
policymakers with reliable, relevant and up to date information. For a quick
overview, we gather experts’ visions around a topical theme in collections of
essays. In our twopage Research Briefs, we provide tailor-made analyses and
policy recommendations.
The institute uses a wide range of interactive
communications tools to disseminate its findings, such as expert meetings,
public debates, talk shows, events and forum discussions to promote interaction
with citizens, policymakers, politicians and other parties. The aim here is the
exchange of thoughts or to initiation of a debate to get the images, visions
and standpoints of participants out into the open.
Often, the media are crucial in getting themes
onto the agenda. Visibility in the media and a good relationship with the press
are of a high priority. Opinion pieces by Rathenau Instituut researchers
regularly appear in national newspapers. Researchers are also frequently
interviewed or asked by journalists to respond to current developments.
Apart from working with the press, the
Institute’s own media is used to communicate: a well-visited website and
weblogs, a monthly digital newsletter and social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Flux magazine,
with accessibly written news and background information on science, technology
and society, is published twice a year.
