After the success of the special session on running a science communication business at the PCST 2025 conference in Aberdeen, we are pleased to propose a dedicated webinar and speed dating session on this topic. If you have ever wondered what it takes to run a successful small business in science communication, or if you have questions about what this work is really like, this is an opportunity to hear directly from experienced professionals in the field.
The session will take place on Thursday, 26 February 2026 at 09:00 CET.
The meeting will be fully interactive. There will be no formal talks, just brief introductions, followed by 40 minutes of Q and A and 40 minutes of speed dating, for a total of 90 minutes.
To help us prepare for the discussion, please complete the following questionnaire.
