‘Communicating Discovery Science’ was the theme of a science communication symposium held from 18 to 20 November 2024 in the historic town of Stellenbosch, in the Cape Winelands of South Africa.
Symposium was organised by CREST.
The symposium aimed 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 was 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.
