The Munich Science Communication Lab (MSCL) is a non-profit, joint initiative of scientists and science communicators that aims at bringing together research about and practice of science communication.

The Lab is supported by a network including two members of Ecsite, BIOTOPIA and Deutsches Museum, together with three other structures in Munich.

The aim of MSCL is to give science communicators the opportunity to try out new things. Whether it's exhibitions in museums, films, and podcasts, or activities in public spaces. The Lab is bringing practitioners and researchers together to develop approaches, concepts, and formats and not stop at the usual, but to discover new horizons, gain new experiences, and question typical ideas.

The science communication research at MSCL focuses on three topics and problem areas: framing planetary health, communicating wicked problems, and a mutual benefit model of science communication.

The Lab is organising an online Colloquiums series, an open place for discussion and academic reflection on science communication and planetary health.
