About us

The “21st Century Scientist is a project by Lene Topp form TOPP Advice and Visuality. We have been involved in making science more impactful in society. We believe in the potential of science and scientists in policy making, in industry, in the social sector and in society as a whole. Regretabely, they are currently not living up to their potential. We believe science is pivotal in addressing the root causes of the most pressing societal issues like the green transition, artificial intelligence and biodiversity.

In our trainings and coaching we focus on the competences that are required for scientists to be impactful in their collaboration and communication with non-academic actors.

Our trainers and coaches have different disciplinary backgrounds and have experience from working with academic institutions, private businesses, international organisations, NGOs and think tanks from across Europe.
