This research project aimed at analysing young people's perceptions of the COVID19 pandemic and its communication in Spain. In addition to analysing the current situation, the project will explore the barriers and incentives in science and health communication aimed at this age group and identify specific cases of good and bad practice. Based on the results, specific recommendations will be made to improve science and health communication to young audiences. Finally, the project has been designed from the outset to stimulate the civic participation of this sector of the population in the Spanish science and technology system.
