By their very nature science and research have an international dimension as global exchange and collaboration ensures that knowledge thrives. Against this background, today's higher-education institutions face an era of profound change.

Science communication plays a significant role in managing this changes by:

• fostering the important dialogue between science and the public

• enabling society's participation in science and the general communication of knowledge.
