As a researcher – particularly within a Horizon Europe (HE) project -, learning how to engage in science communication is important, even an HE obligation. This also relates to LEmobAB’s third research objective, that is to engage in visual communication of science oriented towards public scholarship. Admittingly, I have never been a blogger and I am not much into social media.

This year I had the opportunity to participate in a one-day-training organised by the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) dedicated to research blogging in science communication. A Marie Curie fellowship project is not only about carrying out research and working on one’s topic, it also enables researchers to foster their transversal skills. So, ‘science-blogging’ it was. There is always a first, and I found it somewhat hard to define a specific target audience for my first blog experiment. I decided to write a blogpost – combined with a visualised science “fiction” story – about the topic of my Marie Curie fellowship research on law enforcement mobilities across borders.

Here it goes: The mobility rights of unusual “cross-border workers”: police
