Claudio Andres Canales Rios

Claudio was born and raised in Chile. He is a creative advisor for the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR); for the Chilean Agency for Food Safety (ACHIPIA) and Professor at the University of Valparaiso in the chair of creativity and innovation for public policy. He developed the trust generation model for risk communication, creating more than 20 educational tools including Concierto Sentido and Los Frutantes, as well as games, plays, stories and comics. With 20 years of experience in developing communication strategies, Claudio is curious by nature and a collector of rare facts and new/old music. He says he loves to create ways to communicate science, using all the elements that feed the imagination: music, art, humor, games, literature and more. Supporting and creating new tools for science communication anywhere in the world is not only a wonderful challenge for him, but also one of his passions.
