Unfortunately, our speaker has had to cancel. We are hoping to rearrange the talk for next term.

Despite a growing interest among scientists in engaging with the public and the media, Europe still lacks a genuine science communication culture. While communication of every kind is on everyone’s lips, we are still far from the genuinely ‘intelligent’ communication promised by the advent of the ‘knowledge society’.

We will discuss other challenges science communication is facing today such as: - Do we need science journalists? - New technologies: friends or foes? - Turning science into “mediascience” - Promoting the science-society dialogue
