PCST 2018

3-6 April 2018, Dunedin, New Zealand

The 15th international conference of the Public Communication of Science and Technology network took place from 3–6 April 2018 in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Given its location in Dunedin, New Zealand, it was a natural venue for two sessions on communicating science across cultures.

The theme of the conference was “Science, Stories and Society”. PCST 2018 explored the nexus between science, stories and society, that place where science communication lives.
