What is the Science Journalism Forum?
Think science journalism is just for scientists? Think again!
The Science Journalism Forum 2025 (SJF25), the most diverse event in Science journalism, is opening its doors to a broader audience, creating space for journalists, researchers, policymakers, and the public to come together.
With its mission to promote dialogue and diversity in science storytelling, SJF25 believes that more voices mean stronger, more impactful journalism. Whether you’re a pro or simply passionate about science, there’s a place for you at the table.
This year’s theme is “Science Journalism at a Crossroads – Rethinking Trust, Funding & Innovation”.
The forum will feature sessions in five languages (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese), making it more accessible and inclusive, as always.

Since its establishment in 2020, SJF has rapidly evolved into a premier international platform, attracting over 5,000 attendees from 180 countries and featuring contributions from more than 500 experts. As the forum looks ahead to SJF25, it aims to further its mission of inclusivity by allowing participants to engage both in-person and online.
Co-founder Bothina Osama earlier this year remarked, “This transition to a hybrid format directly responds to our community’s request for more flexible ways to connect. We are dedicated to ensuring that every voice in the science journalism community is heard and valued.”
Saad Lotfy, also a Co-Founder of SJF, also highlighted the significance of this development: “By adopting a hybrid model, we are not just leveraging technology; we are breaking down barriers and expanding our reach. This format will enable us to engage a diverse audience, ensuring that all science journalists, regardless of their geographical location or background, can participate fully.”
SJF25 will feature a robust agenda of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to equip journalists with the tools needed to navigate the rapidly changing media landscape. Attendees can expect a rich exchange of ideas on critical issues facing science journalism today.
Ahead of SJF25, the forum will host SJF24 virtually from October 28 to 31, 2024, under the theme “Transforming Narratives: Reshaping the Landscape of Science Journalism.” This event is anticipated to draw over 500 participants, facilitating discussions in five languages and promoting a truly global dialogue.
As SJF prepares for this exciting next chapter, the organization invites the science journalism community to stay tuned for registration details and further announcements at https://sciencejf.com.
