ComLab: when science and journalism come together, stories emerge that cross borders, challenge perspectives and spark new ideas ✨

For the tenth time, IJP and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation brought together media professionals and researchers to strengthen science reporting.

This year’s bootcamp focused on longevity: How can research in health, environment, urban planning, agriculture and AI contribute to longer, healthier lives? And how can journalism bring these debates into the public sphere?

Over four days, participants joined workshops, panels and keynotes before developing cross-border projects in joint journalist–researcher teams. Their final pitches highlighted the creativity and breadth of collaboration – from climate migration to toxic textiles, urban farming to solar panel recycling.

🏆 Awarded projects:
• H₂O No (Martyna Krajewska & Florian Sturm): Micropollutants in German tap water – presented
with clarity and public health relevance.
• Batteries Be Gone (Tabby Taylor Buck & Amritesh Kumar): A podcast on Parkinson’s treatment, showing how
wireless battery charging could reduce repeated surgeries.
• Bombs and Butterflies (Jenna Kunze & Kirsten Traynor): Biodiversity on German military bases – and the
threat posed by remilitarization.
• AI, Agents of Change (Special Mention, Trisha Husada & Aaron Niederman): AI breaking language barriers to empower workers.
• The World’s Youngest and Loneliest (Peer
Award, Sofia Christensen & Shuyan Liu): Loneliness in Africa’s young societies, told through local voices.

These projects show what ComLab stands for: science communication that is relevant, courageous and collaborative.

Congratulations to our winning teams – and a big thank you to everyone who contributed to strengthening the global science–media dialogue!
