[ecrea] Workshop on Public awareness of research infrastructures - Call for abstracts

Thu Dec 11 16:57:55 GMT 2014



We'd like to announce the Workshop on "Public awareness of Research
Infrastructures: - Expectations - Experiences - Examples" to be held
in Garching (near Munich) on the 18-19th of June 2015.
The workshop is co-organised by the Association of European-level
Research Infrastructure Facilities (ERF-AISBL), the Heinz
Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) and the European Southern Observatory
(ESO).

Website:www.frm2.tum.de/erf-workshop
Venue: European Southern Observatory, Garching near Munich, Germany
Date&  Time:
18th June 2015: 14.00 - 18.30h
19th June 2015: 9.00 - 14.00h
Deadline for abstract submission: 1st of March 2015

Scope of the workshop
A common task of large scale, European Research Infrastructures is to
disseminate their achievements and capabilities to funding bodies as
well as to the general public. Similar expectations on Public
Relations (PR) concern large public funded projects like Integrated
Infrastructure Initiatives (EU) or other big consortia (national
projects). The aim of this workshop is to bring together
representatives from funding agencies with facility and project
managers to discuss the needs and expectations of dissemination
activities. It should act as a forum for information officers to share
experience of their work.

Topics:
- What do science organisations expect from PR?
- How is PR organised at large scale Research Infrastructures?

Sessions:
- Communicating the socio-economic return of large scale facilities
- Using social media for science communication
- Communication to target groups
- Addressing the media and journalists
- PR of a facility under construction
- Public engagement with large scale facilities
- Risk communication
- PR of European projects

We encourage you to submit an abstract to share your experiences in
the parallel sessions, by the 1st of March 2015. You can find further
information in the pdf attached and on our website.
We kindly ask you to circulate this email amongst your contacts.

Best regards,
The organising committee
