After a period of rapid expansion, science communication has arrived at something of a crossroads. Where to next? The aim of the conference was to provide a fresh focus.
Rockefeller Centre hosts ‘Theory-meets-Practice’ Conference
In 2017, the international peer reviewed journal Public Understanding of Science, founded in 1992, celebrates its 25th anniversary. Leading scholars in the field were invited to imagine and reflect upon the future scenarios of Science in Society, discussing the main trends and challenges for research, publishing, science communication and public engagement.
Next April, after the PCST conference in Dunedin, we’re planning a 4-day retreat near Wellington, New Zealand. It’s open to all interested in in the public engagement about science, STS and associated fields.
