Orbicom-UNESCO

Orbicom-UNESCO is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Orbicom-UNESCO rather than just read about it. In short: Orbicom is a global academic network founded in 1994 under the aegis of UNESCO, bringing together academics and communication and media professionals, with the aim of stimulating the exchange of information and the development of joint projects, in order to examine how this constantly evolving field can contribute to promoting democracy and sustainable development. Its head office is based in Montreal, Canada.

Key takeaways

Orbicom-UNESCO belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Orbicom-UNESCO to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Orbicom-UNESCO from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Orbicom is a global academic network founded in 1994 under the aegis of UNESCO, bringing together academics and communication and media professionals, with the aim of stimulating the exchange of information and the development of joint projects, in order to examine how this constantly evolving field can contribute to promoting democracy and sustainable development. Its head office is based in Montreal, Canada. This network, which is at the crossroads of teaching, research and professional practices, was created jointly in May 1994 by UNESCO and Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM - Canada). It currently comprises more than 60 UNESCO Research Chairs in Communication and about 280 members from many countries in all regions of the world, for example in South Africa, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Colombia, Spain, United States, France, Hungary, India, Lithuania, Mexico, Peru, Russia, Uruguay. The first mission of the Orbicom network is to “develop and promote the sharing of knowledge and expertise in communication through education, research and concrete action". It also aims to focus on development-related communication issues, including bilateral and multilateral aid policies, national policies and communication laws. Linking specialists around the world working in different communication sectors, and supported by international institutions, media, governments and businesses, it is part of UNESCO's new communication strategy, unanimously adopted at the 1989 General Conference. The "Orbicom" association, bringing together UNESCO chairs in communication, has been chaired since 2018 by Professor Jamal Eddine Naji, a Moroccan academic. Members meet at conferences held annually in various countries. External links

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Orbicom-UNESCO

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Orbicom-UNESCO claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Orbicom-UNESCO before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Orbicom-UNESCO ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Orbicom-UNESCO

In research: Orbicom-UNESCO appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Orbicom-UNESCO in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Orbicom-UNESCO is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Technology transfer, UNESCO, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Orbicom-UNESCO outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
