Associació Catalana de Comunicació Científica (ACCC)

The Catalan Association of Scientific Communication (ACCC) was established in 1990 as a professional organization that brings together scientific communicators, journalists, scientists, publishers and promoters of the Catalan interested in communicating scientific information in the written and audiovisual media.

The main objective of the ACCC is to promote, disseminate, expand and improve scientific communication in Catalan-speaking territories. Also wants to influence the social and political aspects of scientific information, while ensuring that contributes to social progress.
Another priority of the ACCC is to facilitate the training of its members and encourage debate and self-criticism among communicators of science, technology and innovation.

Based on these principles, the ACCC works:

• Stimulating the presence of science in different media.
• Facilitate the free movement and dissemination of ideas and scientific knowledge.
• Ensuring the independence and objectivity of news content generated about science, technology and innovation.
• To promote standardization of science and scientific as basic content in the field of Catalan culture.
