Effective science communication is more crucial than ever as vertiginously rapid scientific advancement combines with pressing global challenges. This is particularly true concerning environmental sustainability as, besides formal environmental education been increasing, it is still not significantly affecting general views on the environment or triggering the needed behavioral changes. Aligned with this endeavour is the mission of CIBIO to disseminate scientific knowledge and promote public awareness and appreciation of biodiversity, and researchers, students and collaborators respond to this call making science communication activities and events part of the institution’s everyday life. Since 2022, CIBIO has been part of the association that runs Centro Ciência Viva de Vila do Conde – CCVVC, a science centre committed to promoting scientific literacy at a regional scale. This collaboration is extremely valuable for both parties and should be capitalized on either side in order to represent a true symbiotic relationship. This talk is an opportunity to forecast all work done and in progress and also exploring new possibilities. First and foremost, it will be a catalyser for us to keep talking.
