The PCST Network seeks to promote new ideas, methods, intellectual and practical questions, and perspectives on the communication of science and technology.
Specifically, it aims to:
- improve the theoretical understanding of science communication by providing a forum to consider the latest developments
- improve the practice of science communication by providing a forum to consider strategies and methods
- promote an exchange between practitioners and theoreticians, to improve both the study and practice of science communication.
