This occasion was once attended by way of good over 2,100 members. The contents of this ebook essentially illustrate hugely vital portion of learn tasks funded by way of the ecu Union is conversation. Authors contain scientists, reporters and verbal exchange professionals.
The e-book covers the most facets of technology and expertise conversation this day and addresses topical questions akin to: Is technology journalism valuable in any respect? should still communique turn into one of many simple abilities of scientists, as obligatory as considering, trying out and experimenting? should still our faculties of the longer term placed medical literacy on the best of the technology curriculum? will we want technology critics? Does the assurance of technology within the media replicate the alternative of the editors or does it adequately reflect the public’s curiosity? How does one seize the public’s cognizance whilst selling technology on neighborhood, advertisement or leisure radio? Why may we'd like criteria in technology verbal exchange? How do we eliminate any hindrances to communique between researchers and among researchers?
The e-book casts mild on those matters etc. It deals a variety of excellent practices companies to scientists and technology communicators, and will aid them layout and perform their conversation actions with a eu and foreign measurement.

However, most of the Chinese science museums are located in Beijing, Shanghai and some other big cities. It is hard for people who live in the rural and remote areas to enjoy the exhibitions of the science museums. Responding to the request of rural communities and schools, science wagons have been created by CAST to bring the interactive science exhibitions, popular science DVD programmes, as well as science films to people who are living in small townships and villages. In order to do this, and after a period of 5 years developing the idea, we can now see 68 science wagons on country roads throughout China.
Another major cause of the growing divide between science and the rest of society is the presumption by scientists that people’s objections to what science is doing or showing arises only from misunderstanding on the part of the public. Scientists frequently attribute public disagreement simply to public ignorance. That is often wrong. In many cases, the public does understand what science is doing or showing, but people simply do not like it – or it conflicts with their core values and therefore they object.
But really, if we take the time to consider this, there is much that unites scientists and media professionals. Both, after all, are defined by their independence, their objectivity, their enquiring minds, and their search for truth. And both groups face new challenges. The explosion in television channels, and especially 24-hour news channels, and the accessibility of news via internet put new demands on those working in the media in the same way that technological advances change the working life for scientists.
