Communicating European Research 2005 - International Conference, Brussels
Promoting successful science communication
Around 3000 participants including project co-ordinators, journalists and other communication professionals, press officers and representatives from research organisations will meet to promote mutual understanding of their respective roles, to share best practice and to define strategies to improve communication, outreach and dissemination of research results to the public and the press at a European level.
Showcasing European research
Throughout the event, latest research results and current scientific activities will be presented to the media in press conferences and media briefings. A huge exhibition will feature selected research initiatives as well as the communication strategies of research organisations. Dissemination networks, media associations, relevant publications and editorials together with companies and service providers in the field of information and communication will present their products and services.
The next FP on the horizon
At the time of CER 2005, the preparation of the 7th Framework Programme will be in full swing and the current state of play will be presented. FP6 already emphasized communication and dissemination tasks and contributed greatly to raising awareness of these fundamental requirements. Should FP7 take us a step further? How can the effectiveness of EU-funded research benefit from more concrete communication and dissemination schemes? What activities and at what level should be encouraged or even made obligatory?
Improving skills
Learning about successes and failures of others, sharing own experiences, meeting players from different ends of the communication spectrum will
certainly spin off numerous ideas and initiatives. Above that, hands-on workshops and tutorials will provide the opportunity to hone some of your communications skills. And who knows, you might even learn a new trick… communication strategies of research organisations, media associations, relevant publications and editorials together with companies and all kind of service providers in the field of information and communication of science. To express your interest, please reply to the call for proposals. A basic exhibition package will be offered free of charge to all exhibitors.
