Communication Needs in Science? Access to Communication Optimisation in an International Research Project in the Area of Public Health

Barrier-free communication in an international research project – can this be achieved, and if so, by using which methods? The present article presents a project in the area of public health operating in six different countries. Coming from different countries and disciplines and speaking different mother tongues, the project members constituted a heterogeneous group working together on a daily basis. After identifying some barriers to efficient communication in this setting, the article will discuss the access to communication optimisation.
