The disruption as a result of the pandemic has affected social, economic, political and technological systems across the globe. Communicating science and technology provides people with the clear, accurate and factual information that are required to respond effectively to the current disruption of systems and with the emergence of the Second-Wave of the Coronavirus pandemic. The World Health Organization six principles appears to be the most suitable strategy to communicate science and technology in this era. The Framework has six principles states that a communication should be “accessible, actionable, credible and trusted, relevant, timely and understandable. The systems approach is the preferred methodology where a complex science and technology information is broken into small constituent parts and communicated more clearly. The strategy will make it simpler for journalists, science communicators or writers to be more effective in carrying out their mandates as public educators and informants.

A multidimensional approach to entrepreneurship, especially in the post-COVID-19 era, will have an important influence on the state of business and government, especially when considering the effects of technological development, innovation, glocalization, and nationalization policies that need to be adopted for inclusive sustainable growth, as well as the enhanced and efficient utilization of global resources. That means there is likely to be a shift in how entrepreneurship development and entrepreneurial opportunities will be perceived, developed, and resourced. The question is how to sustain SMEs and entrepreneurial innovation in the post-COVID-19 era. Thus, comprehensive research and knowledge on designing policies and approaches to ensure the sustainability of SMEs and entrepreneurial innovation in post-pandemic times are essential to sustain, stimulate, and foster SMEs, entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial innovations. The Handbook of Research on Sustaining SMEs and Entrepreneurial Innovation in the Post-COVID-19 Era provides research dedicated to entrepreneurship with a special emphasis on the sustainability of SMEs and entrepreneurial innovations in the post-COVID-19 era. It provides discussion and the exchange of information on principles, strategies, models, techniques, methodologies, and applications of entrepreneurship in the post-COVID-19 era in the field of public and private organizations. The chapters communicate the latest developments and thinking on the entrepreneurship subject worldwide by drawing on the latest developments, ideas, research, and best practice to examine the implications of the changes taking place due to COVID-19. This book is ideally intended for entrepreneurs, global organizations, small and medium-sized enterprises, managers, executives, government officials, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in learning about, designing, or implementing policies that are more effective in the post-pandemic era.

Poglavja zbornika predstavljajo bogat pregled raznolikosti praks komuniciranja znanosti, ki so jih razvili raziskovalci komuniciranja znanosti in strokovnjaki za to področje iz različnih držav. Zbornik prepleta krovna misel, da je dialog nujen tako med znanostjo in družbo kot tudi med akterji komuniciranja znanosti in raziskovalci iz različnih ekologij – držav, kultur, institucij in praks. Namesto da bi poskušali na novo odkrivati komuniciranje znanosti, zbornik kaže na to, da potrebujemo nove pristope za sistematično primerjavo, razlikovanje in celo integracijo komuniciranja znanosti med različnimi konteksti, disciplinami in metodami.

To cope with the pandemic, many educational institutions in the United States have resorted to emergency remote teaching (ERT). Distance/online learning is a complex process in terms of the design, analysis, and time taken to develop and implement courses and programs. Having been around for decades, it has evolved and morphed into a multidimensional procedure that needs meticulous planning, evolution, and evaluation. It provides meaningful learning experiences to students who may not otherwise have the option to attend college. Students of distance/online courses and programs usually choose to join voluntarily, and designers of such programs purposefully plan for them to be online from the start. In contrast, ERT is an emergency/crisis-based need to move teaching and learning to alternative environments until the crisis is averted or ended. Preparing Faculty for Technology Dependency in the Post-COVID-19 Era is a comprehensive guide that focuses on preparing pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and higher education faculty to harness technology dependence in an emergency remote teaching era by discussing current and post-pandemic preparedness. Covering a wide range of topics such as digital reality, teacher preparedness, and technology dependency, this book is crucial for educators, administrators, pre-service teachers, researchers, academicians, and students.
