SJF is a virtual multilingual global event where science journalists, writers, publishers, scientists, students, and academia can share new ideas and thoughts in science journalism. The forum aims to empower all stakeholders with new tools that help them communicate, network, and learn from their peers worldwide. Compared to offline events, the virtual SJF is less cost, eco-friendly, and brings all experts in no matter where they are.
