A Legacy of Trust in Science Communication
For two decades, Cosmos Magazine has been at the forefront of making science both fascinating and approachable. In a world saturated with misinformation, the magazine remains a beacon for those seeking reliable, fact-based content. This tradition of trust continues as Cosmos enters a new phase of evolution.
Introducing ConnectSci: A New Horizon
Embracing the digital age, Cosmos Magazine’s latest venture is the launch of ConnectSci, a digital content platform under CSIRO Publishing. According to Cosmos, this transition aims to connect diverse audiences with the latest in science news, journals, and eBooks. It’s a bold step towards enhancing reach and discoverability.
Uniting Global and Local Perspectives
ConnectSci promises to enrich its audience’s understanding of not only Australian but also international scientific findings. The new platform endeavors to bridge communities, offering a seamless blend of science news that matters to both laypersons and professionals alike.
A Steady Pillar of Editorial Independence
A crucial pillar of this evolution is maintaining the magazine’s editorial independence. Set to go live on 21 October 2025, the new ConnectSci News portal will uphold its commitment to disseminate authentic, fact-based science news.
Inclusive and Extensive Audience Reach
Cosmos Magazine doesn’t just cater to science enthusiasts. Its outreach spans across diverse segments: from students and academics to decision-makers and governmental bodies. Riding on the back of this diversity, ConnectSci aims to cultivate a community of engaged and informed readers.
Leadership and Visionaries Steering the Change
Under the able direction of Gavin Stone, a seasoned journalist with deep roots in science communication, the new platform is poised for impactful storytelling. The seasoned newsroom team, alongside freelance science communicators, promises a continuity of excellence that Cosmos readers have come to expect.
Embracing Collaborations and Partnerships
To ensure sustainable growth, ConnectSci News is not only focused on content delivery. Actively seeking partnerships and opportunities, it aims to foster a next-generation cadre of science communicators and influencers.
Preserving a Rich Heritage
To accompany this digital leap, an archive review of over 4,000 online articles ensures the legacy of Cosmos is preserved. As some content remains offline, consultations with original authors will dictate future archiving efforts.
By merging tradition with innovation, Cosmos Magazine underlines its role as an impactful chronicler of scientific discovery. Its journey with ConnectSci is set to redefine how audiences interact with science content in the digital age.
