Services and tools

Our team is a unique combination of scientists and communicators who share a common passion for bringing science to life using eye-catching visual elements. We understand the science and can help distill the meaning of your research using our graphics-rich approach. Your data becomes instantly accessible, even across cultural and language barriers.

We help produce environmental report cards that help diverse audiences understand the key message about your ecosystem. Our process is simple: create a “report card” that grades indicators on a simple A-F scale that is intuitive, regardless of whether the person reading your report is familiar with your ecosystem.

Getting stakeholders fully engaged has many benefits for environmental problem-solving. If done well, it ensures that projects include the most important things, it provides a way for everyone in the community to be heard, and it enables you to use the very best information. But stakeholder engagement can be tricky. At IAN, we have developed a suite of engagement tools through our extensive experience of engaging with diverse stakeholders globally.

If you want your science to influence decisions and policymaking, you need to learn the art of storytelling, to capture the key messages from your research and make your data compelling. At IAN, we are always exploring new and innovative ways to visualize scientific data. We can teach you everything we know.

IAN’s media library is a repository of photos, videos, and graphic symbols that is completely free to download and use! This media library contains thousands of individually editable symbols, hundreds of high-quality, licensed-for-creative-commons photos, and videos that can be used as b-roll in any of your videos. The media library is a tool that IAN develops to make science communication resources free and accessible for everyone.
