PCST China Symposium 2024

17-19 October 2024, Suzhou, China

Communicating science across cultures: approaches, perspectives and challenges

The world was a global community that shared a common destiny for humanity. However, growing polarisation and antagonism in the world posed significant challenges to science communication. To address challenges such as artificial intelligence, misinformation, technological controversies, environmental and health issues, and cultural variation, participants were invited to exchange thoughts and effective practices on local or international science communication. The aim was to explore and expand communication methods, broaden perspectives, and strengthen the sense of responsibility. In this way, it was expected to bridge differences, alleviate confrontation, and rebuild spaces and platforms for fruitful dialogue among all parties involved in science communication.

The PCST Suzhou Symposium 2024 was organised by Soochow University (SU, Suzhou) and jointly organised by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC, Hefei). The Symposium received support from the Chinese Society for Science and Technology Journalism, the Suzhou Association of Science and Technology, the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science (CPAS) at the Australian National University, and the journals Public Understanding of Science, Science Communication, and Journal of Science Communication.
