Our mission
ReCO aims to fill this gap. The interest group was founded by enthusiastic students and staff at the University of Tromsø (UiT) after a video workshop in research communication with Hollywood filmmaker and Prof. in Marine Biology Randy Olson in February 2011.
ReCO has initiated, supported and organized training in innovative research communication at UiT on all levels since. We work close together with the faculties and university administration to develop more courses as a part of the regular student and PhD education.
ReCO supports students and staff to realize their communication projects by offering professional equipment for media productions to its members. We aim to build a permanent ReCO media lab at UiT with enough equipment to train groups of 15-20 students in the production of audio-visual media on a regular basis.
