OK. We’ve got the point – and now
                 what?
•   Let’s movilize
•   Let’s change
•   Let’s move
•   Let’s do thinkgs well
•   Let’s concentrate
•   Let’s keep freedom
•   Let’s catalyze a positive attidude
•   Let’s (place here your favourite call to action)
And now – some /(final) commercials
• Interested in further/different course on
  science communication (Catalan): stay tuned
  to our news

• Interested in a MOOC (Massive Online Open
  Course) in Spanish on Communication 2.0 in
  Research? Take a look at miriadax.net!
  – http://miriadax.net/web/sociedad_digital
Some ideas to take away
• Web 2.0, Social Networking, Communicating Research – is just
  an attitude
• There is a paramount task yet in involving and motivating
  (good) researchers, research groups and academic units in
  communicating (well!) Research and Science.
• Dissemination of Research and Public Outreach is hindered by
  current issues.
• There is a high pressure (Publish of Perish, Transfer or Die, etc.)
  that does not free time enough to get involved in Public
  Outreach and Dissemination activities
• A proper system of Rewards could be established to catalyze
  and promote Science and Research communication.
• Thank you very much for your attention!
