S.-FNRS) and Science Europe (SE) co-organised the High-level Conference on Science Communication on 12 and 13 March 2024, under the auspices of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024. [...] It is imperative for organisations, researchers, and policy makers to enhance science communication to facilitate public understanding of and trust in the scientific process. [...] Together, these will highlight the value of the pursuit of knowledge through fundamental research and the freedom of scientific inquiry. [...] It is necessary to integrate science communication initiatives strategically from the outset of research programmes and projects to showcase the value of research investments in addressing pressing societal issues, while also improving understanding of the research process itself. [...] We encourage policy makers to engage with the messages and recommendations delivered above to unlock the power of science communication in connecting research, governments, and industry to ensure that science remains accessible, transparent, and impactful, for the benefit of society.
