Description
The Science Communication Conference addresses the key issues facing science communicators in the UK.
The conference will take place over 2 days in May 2008 at London’s Institution of Engineering and Technology. Each day the conference will run sessions in three strands – engaging to inspire and educate, engaging to involve and engaging through the media and PR.
The conference aims to:

> raise awareness of new developments
> promote greater understanding and cohesion amongst those working in science, technology and engineering communications
> provide opportunities to network, share ideas and good practice
