To close the symposium, this panel will synthesise insights emerging from the working groups, panels, and community discussions. It will focus on actionable strategies for strengthening science communication ecosystems, building sustainable professional networks, and fostering collaborative practices—both within Asia and globally. The session will explore how the region can lead by example, particularly in settings where English is a second language, and how non-Western perspectives can be more meaningfully integrated into science communication theory, training, and practice worldwide.
