Crisis Navigator for Rapid Mobilisation of Science Communication for Policymakers

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The Crisis Navigator is designed as a strategic resource to support the rapid mobilisation of science communication in times of crisis. This specific version addresses policymakers.The Crisis Navigator distinguishes four phases (pre-, imminent, actual, and post-crisis), in which science communication supports effective crisis management, creating space for constructive dialogue involving researchers and other stakeholders. This document serves as a guide to support the different stakeholder groups to better imagine and anticipate challenges (e.g., uncertainty, ethical issues, framing). This includes careful consideration of how the identified challenges interconnect and may overlap in any given crisis situation, bearing witness to the complexity of (science and) science communication as a continuous process and acknowledging that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
