"FÄKT" - Science Communication for Younger People

We are proud to be part of the FÄKT initiative, a project dedicated to making science exciting and accessible for young people. By sharing knowledge on various scientific topics, FÄKT helps bring research closer to the next generation.

FÄKT brings science to life—for everyone! Supported by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), FÄKT helps scientists share their passion and research in a way that is engaging, easy to understand, and interactive. Through high-quality, fact-checked content on social media, complex topics become more accessible and exciting for younger audiences.

HISM & FÄKT:

In March 2025, our HISM project collaborated with FÄKT to create a series of social media videos across three platforms.

In our YouTube video, we take you behind the scenes of our daily work and research. We explore topics like:

How health influencers impact audiences
Key findings from our latest study
A helpful red flag checklist for evaluating influencer posts

We are proud to contribute to science communication and hope to inspire young people to explore research and critical thinking.
