Final conference of the My Science project, Bolzano, Italy
28 May 2010 - 28 May 2010
Italy
The final conference of the My Science ('European programme for young journalists') project will be held in Bolzano, Italy on 28 May 2010.
Conference sessions will focus a number of areas related to science and communications. First, a panel presentation, debate and discussion will look at training researchers to be science communicators and how to give journalists deeper insight into science communication.
Next, a roundtable will focus on the importance of ethics in research. Specifically, participants will hear about the ethical side of research on mummies, with an emphasis on Ötzi, the frozen mummy who is on display at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano.
There will also be individual presentations on science communication in the EU, including best practices and types of science communication. Questions of communicating science to the wider public will also be discussed.
The My Science project has worked to improve public understanding of EU research and to promote scientific engagement with society. This is done through promoting the relationship of mass media and science and by building partnerships between laboratories and non-scientific associations of journalism.For further information, please visit:
