Cerebrus Digital wins European science communication award

Cerebrus Digital has been named Best Science Communication Media Company (Europe) in the Corporate Vision 2026 Media Innovator Awards, recognising its innovative approach to capturing, communicating and preserving scientific knowledge.

The award acknowledges Cerebrus Digital’s distinctive combination of scientific expertise, specialist media production and digital innovation, helping learned societies, professional associations and research organisations extend the reach, accessibility and long-term impact of their scientific communications.

Unlike conventional media production companies, Cerebrus Digital brings scientific understanding directly into its work. With scientists working alongside media professionals, the company understands both the complexity of the research being communicated and the needs of specialist scientific audiences.

A central focus of its work is transforming scientific conferences and professional-development activities into lasting digital knowledge resources. Through multi-camera video production, livestreaming, rapid post-production and the management of online content libraries, Cerebrus Digital enables scientific presentations to remain accessible long after an event has finished.

This approach is particularly evident in its work with the British Society for Genetic Medicine and its constituent organisations. Their managed digital libraries now contain more than 700 conference and continuing professional development (CPD) video and recording assets, supporting knowledge sharing across genetics, genomic medicine and genetic counselling.

Innovation in scientific conference communication has also been an important part of Cerebrus Digital’s development. The company has pioneered a digital poster presentation format that replaces traditional printed posters with short, chaired scientific presentations, professional video capture and interactive digital poster kiosks.

By converting posters into recorded presentations, the format offers researchers greater visibility, reduces the need for printing and physical materials, and creates enduring scientific content that can be shared through websites, professional networks and social media.

Speed of delivery is another defining feature. Cerebrus Digital aims to make complete conference recordings available within two weeks of an event, with shorter CPD sessions typically prepared within one week, ensuring that scientific content remains timely and relevant.

The company has also supported the communication and dissemination of collaborative research projects and is developing its activities within European research programmes.

The 2026 Media Innovator Award recognises a philosophy that underpins Cerebrus Digital’s work: digital media should do more than simply reproduce traditional communication formats. It should make scientific knowledge more accessible, engaging and valuable over time.

For Cerebrus Digital, the ambition remains straightforward: to help scientific knowledge travel further, faster and for longer.
