The Journalism Science Alliance is hosting its fourth online training series on 6 November, gathering scientist grantees from the 2026 call.
This session will focus on the relationship between scientists and journalists, exploring how to work effectively with the media and addressing the real challenges of this collaboration. This online training follows a similar workshop held for the 2025 cohort.
The trainer, António Granado, was a science journalist for more than 26 years and has wide experience in the relationship between scientists and journalists. Currently, he is an associate professor at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, where he teaches in the areas of journalism and science communication and he co-directs, since 2011, the master programme in Science Communication. António worked as a science journalist, mainly at Público, one of Portugal’s main daily quality newspapers, where he also was science editor, sub-editor-in-chief, managing editor and online editor. As the science editor at Público, he organized the first residencies in Portugal for scientists in the newsroom, a project supported by the national research funding agency. He is currently the coordinator of the Journalism Science Alliance and a Work Package leader on the ERC Science Journalism Initiative, which is promoting residencies for science journalists in European research institutions.
