The pandemic has hit all of us in different ways, affecting us both as individuals and as society. This means restrictions on daily life while governments work to decrease case numbers and protect our most vulnerable of citizens. In-person events have been cancelled and group mixing is no longer allowed. This makes it extremely difficult for some professions to carry out their work, such as photographers. We spoke to Nicole Fischer, who trained and worked as a freelance photographer before joining Design & Data (D&D), about her career and how she has adapted to life as a photographer during the pandemic.

Sometimes it’s not the outside world you want to talk to but your own organisation. When implementing complex policies, trying to increase awareness of a particular problem or create culture change, having your staff on board will improve your chances of success.

Here we present four tips on how to run successful internal communication campaigns that will put your messages across in the most efficient way.

Throughout 2020, Design & Data GmbH has worked with Nikal Fm Srl, as managers of the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Conference Bureau, on a range of virtual science conferences discussing major environmental challenges.

When we were entering 2020, few of us would have anticipated what the year would become.
