‘Communicating Discovery Science’ is the theme of a science communication symposium from 18 to 20 November 2024 in the historic town of Stellenbosch, in the Cape Winelands of South Africa.
Symposium organised by CREST.
The symposium aims to deepen understanding of effective public engagement around Discovery Science, also known as basic or foundational science, by exploring ways to improve the practice of communicating Discovery Science, share insights and create a supportive community for scientists and science communication practitioners focused on basic science.
This symposium is sponsored by The Kavli Foundation, and builds on earlier work of the Science Public Engagement Partnership, a collaboration of the Kavli Foundation and the United States Department of Energy Office of Science.
The programme will start with registration at 08:00 on Monday, 18 November 2024, with a plenary opening session starting at 09:00, followed by a full day on Tuesday, 19 November 2024, and wrap up with lunch on Wednesday, 20 November 2024.
