Science communication and the internet is becoming a topic all over the world. Also France are tuning in on it. A conference next week at the Pasteur Institute brings people together to discuss how science communicated via the internet can help bring science to a wider public.
The conference which is entitled ‘Communiquer la science via internet’ takes place on the 25 September and you can read the programme here.
The conference aims to promote reflection and dialogue between science producers and citizens to improve science communication.
The conference is number three in a series of conferences focusing on communicating science. The initiative for the conference comes from a number of research institutions (Andra, CEA, Genopole, Inserm, Institut Pasteur, IRD, Cemagref), IHEST (Institute des Hautes Etudes pour la Science et la Technologie) and Universcience,
The conference is aimed at producers of science, public communicators, program designers, animators sites, the media, and the Internet.
