Science communication for a shared future: engage, empower, enlighten

PCST 2027 will be hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Against the backdrop of rapid technological development, climate change, global health challenges and the growing need for inclusive dialogue, the 2027 conference will bring together people from all walks of life to discuss how science and technology communication can enhance the public’s understanding of science, bridge the cognitive gap, and continue to inspire human imagination and spirit of exploration. While showcasing China’s science and technology communication wisdom, it will also jointly draw a new picture of science and technology communication for the future.
