Innovative Communication Hubs for Earth and Environmental Sciences

Session ID#: 119225

Session Description:
Today, we live in a communication society. While there are unprecedented possibilities to gather information, finding relevant data and information seams to become more and more complex. Amongst the multitude of modern communication channels, museums and other public institutions stand out. Not only by their physical appearance, but by their extraordinary quality of communication. Here, genuine dialogue and participation is still lived.
Within this session, we invite presentations about new concepts for meaningful and moving science communication at museums, universities, science centers and festivals, visitor centers or outdoor exhibitions. We will discuss innovative ways to engage all audiences to actively take part in the discourse about the grand challenges of today's and tomorrow's society.
