Science Communication Conference 2009

[Date: 2009-06-08]
The Science Communication Conference is on 22 and 23 June 2009 at Kings Place, central London.

The British Science Association is working in partnership with the Wellcome Trust to organise the 2009 Conference. BP and the Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills are also providing support.

The Conference addresses the key issues facing science communicators in the UK and each year brings together people who are engaged in public engagement - a diverse group of people from a broad range of backgrounds. It is a fantastic opportunity to network, share ideas and good practice.

In 2009, alongside sessions covering the whole range of activities within public engagement, the Conference will have a central focus - 'Behaviour and Choice' - exploring the role that science communicators should or could play as influencers of behavioural change.

We are offering a bursary scheme this year with funding from Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills.

Costs for the Conference include an Early-Bird offer so book your place before 5 April to save money.

This year we are also offering concessionary rates for artists, students and the unemployed.

"I enjoyed meeting such a diverse range of people and found the breakout sessions particularly interesting"
Conference delegate, 2008
