This roundtable will bring together a diverse group of individuals, institutions, and collectives across India who are actively engaged in communicating science to the public in Indian languages. The goal is to initiate a series of community-driven, informal discussions that will explore the challenges and opportunities in this field.

Through this meeting, we aim to better understand ongoing initiatives in terms of the barriers and enablers that practitioners experience, the audiences they engage with, their views on impact, and meaningful ways for collaboration, capacity building, and institutional support.

What will be IndiaBioscience’s role?

IndiaBioscience will serve solely as a facilitator for these discussions, providing a platform for open and inclusive dialogue. The organisation’s involvement is limited to enabling these conversations, to listen and learn from the community.

These sessions will help IndiaBioscience reflect on how it can contribute more effectively to this space in the future, moving beyond the role of a funder to become a more active and responsive supporter of science communication in Indian languages.

Date: 18 July 2025 | Friday
