Press and Communications Group
EASAC's Press and Communications Group (PCG) represents press officers and/or those with a communications mandate in the member academies who meet regularly to exchange good practice and prepare for national outreach activities in the run up to EASAC report launches. All member academies are encouraged to field PCG representation, whether or not they have press office capacity. Our collective communication efforts are paramount to EASAC's impact on policymaking.
