Anne Chapuis

Science outreach specialist

What I do

With a PhD in glaciology, I help researchers and scientific institutions make their results clear, accessible and useful: I support you through consulting, content creation and training. This expertise is built on twenty years at the interface between research and society, including six years leading communication for a CNRS research institute and a European project.

ADVICE

Is your scientific communication fragmented, without a strategy or long-term follow-up? I support you in defining, planning and following up your outreach activities.


  • Science information and outreach strategies
  • Audience and format definition
  • Science outreach projects coordination and follow-up from early ideas to delivery

    • DESIGN & CONTENT

    Do you lack the time or the skills to turn your results into clear content, even as funders increasingly require it? I turn your scientific knowledge into clear, accessible and useful formats.


  • Scientific outreach writing and editing
  • Infographics and visual information
  • Educational resources
  • Games and interactive formats
  • Videos and digital content
  • Collaboration with artists to create exhibitions

    • TRAINING

    Are you struggling to communicate your research to non-specialist audiences? I help you build these skills through hands-on workshops.

    About Me

    I am a science outreach specialist with a background in glaciology and 20 years of experience working at the interface between research, education and the public.

    I help research teams and organisations make scientific knowledge easier to understand, explore and use. I work from the scientific content itself to develop the right way of sharing it - whether through writing and editing, visual and educational resources, exhibitions, games, videos or digital formats.

    My experience includes working closely with researchers, coordinating outreach activities for European research projects, developing educational resources and training, and translating scientific knowledge for policy-makers, professionals, teachers, students and the general public.

    I particularly enjoy working on climate, environmental and Earth sciences, where complex questions often need new ways of being explained and explored.


    I work in French and English.
