Calling All Researchers: Help Inform the Public Debate

The Department of Communication is currently updating the press list – a registry of ITU researchers whom we refer the media to when they call asking for an expert’s perspective on an IT-related topic – and we need you, our stellar researchers, thought leaders, and science superheroes at ITU, to help inform the fourth estate for the good of society.

Is your area of research underrepresented in the public debate? Does your work present new perspectives on societal issues? Would you like to promote your research and your field to the broader public? Then please reach out to us at presse@itu.dk

The public debate needs your voice and expert insight!
