Improving science communication in museums and science centres

Objective

The ISCOM projects aims at creating a SCIENCE communicators Forum during three Years, for exchanging and diffusing science centre/museums best experiences. For a better performance, ECSITE creates a Consortium including the BAAS (UK) and LABCIS-ITCOM based at the Futuroscope (F). The Forum will focus on three major challenges. We face today in the field of economy, communication and society changes. These three challenges will be analyzed over three years and evaluated from the point of view of the professional activity of the partners. The results will be largely disseminated by Printed matters and internet.
