Making Science Accessible to Everyone.

A PfCRT protein topology diagram is overlaid by a magnifying glass, visually demonstrating how alternative text and a long description reveal the graphic's details for accessibility purposes. In this case, the graphic serves only decorative purposes but an alternative text was added for demonstration purposes.

Training science communicators and researchers to deliver legally compliant, and truly inclusive science communication.

Available as a 4-hour live online workshop and soon also as a comprehensive on-demand self-paced online course.

Bridging the Gap Between Science Communication and Accessibility

Most accessibility guidelines are written for web developers in IT departments or administrative staff. They are often not applicable for the realities of science communication, leaving communication departments, researchers and freelancers to free-style when handling complex scientific graphics, alt-texts, and new European AI regulations.

For Public Outreach & Communication Teams

Building Real Awareness: Technical checklists are not sufficient. Communicators need a genuine understanding of how disabled audiences interact with complex digital content, allowing them to spot barriers before their content is published.
Accessible Graphics: Your team already has experience in how to create media. They just need to know how to increase the accessibility by adjusting structure, typography, color palettes, and contrast without losing its professional look.
Relevant Regulations Only: Between general accessibility guidelines and legislations and the new EU AI Act, there is a lot of noise. Communicators need to know which rules apply to their daily outreach, especially when using generative AI to assist with content creation.

For Freelance Science Communicators, Researchers & Authors

Scientific Alt-Text: Writing alt-text for a generic photo is easy. Describing a multi-layered scientific plot or diagram accurately for a screen reader requires a specialised skillset. I teach you how to write precise, high-quality alt-texts for science.
Compliant Graphics: Learn clear, repeatable rules for typography, contrast, and colours that you can immediately apply to any scientific asset.
Competitive Advantage: Public institutions and Science Publishers face increasing pressure to be digitally accessible. By understanding exactly which parts of the regulations (including the AI Act) matter for university communication and academic publications, you position yourself as an expert.

My live online Workshop & my on-demand self-paced Online Course bridge the gap between Science Communication, Accessibility, and Compliance.

I teach science communicators how to make complex data visually accessible, engaging, and compliant at the same time.

Additional Services

Or would you rather have it done for you?

I also provide the following services, either myself or through my network:

Practical, Hands-on Outcomes of the Workshop and the Online Course

I don’t just teach theory. Every participant leaves the workshop with immediate, actionable tools:

Your Personal Accessibility Roadmap:

A step-by-step framework tailored to the participant’s specific communication channels (eg. Social Media, Podcasts, Web, MS Office documents or PDFs).

The Accessible Sci-Comm Handbook:

A resource guide containing compliance checklists, suggestions for contrast and colour tools, and AI-prompt guides for generating first-draft alt-texts and “easy language”.

Bilingual Flexibility:

For the live workshop, all materials and sessions are fully available in both English and German.

Tailored for…

Graduate Academies & Researchers: Help PhD students and Postdocs maximize their research impact, fulfill third-party funding (Drittmittel) diversity requirements, and communicate responsibly.
University PR & Communication Teams: Equip institutional communicators with the skills to manage social media, video captioning, and data visualisation in line with modern accessibility laws.
Freelance Science Communicators: Future-proof your business workflow. Stop worrying about accessibility regulations. Learn efficient, safe workflows to produce compliant high-quality assets efficiently, protecting your professional reputation and saving valuable time.

Bring Accessible Sci-Comm to Your Institution

The next 4-Hour Live Online Workshops for your institution can be arranged starting from July 2026.

I am also currently selecting partner institutions and individual researchers and science communicators for the pilot of my upcoming, on-demand, self-paced Online Course.

Navigating the New Regulatory Landscape

With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and the strict transparency and labeling rules of the EU AI Act, science communicators must know the legal boundaries of using generative AI and publishing research data.
