About this initiative
The Science for Society Initiative Podcast (SSI Podcast) is a SCOKA platform created to bring meaningful conversations on science, research, technology and innovation closer to society. It provides a space for scientists, researchers, innovators, policymakers, journalists, young professionals and other thought leaders to share their knowledge, experiences and perspectives in a language and format that audiences beyond traditional scientific communities can understand and engage with.
The podcast was launched as part of expanding the reach of the Science for Society Initiative (SSI) — SCOKA's flagship science communication programme. Through the SSI Podcast, SCOKA seeks to bridge the gap between scientists and society by creating audio content that is informative, accessible, and relevant to everyday lives.
Its mandate is to connect science with society through conversations that inform, educate, inspire and encourage public participation in science. The podcast amplifies scientific voices while also creating an avenue through which the public can ask questions, understand scientific issues, and participate in conversations that directly affect their communities and livelihoods.
Episodes feature conversations with scientists, researchers, communicators, advocates, and innovators who are working at the intersection of science and society. The SSI Podcast is part of SCOKA's broader commitment to ensuring that science is not only conducted and published but also communicated, understood, and valued by society.
