Venue

STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire, UK



Deadline for abstract submission: 30 November 2018
We invite you to submit abstracts of up to 300 words relevant to one or 
more of the conference themes.


Topics open for abstract submission include:

    Building and maintaining public trust
    Combating fake news
    Measuring success
    Unconventional outreach and new trends
    Communicating communications
    Finding the next science superstar
    Risk and issues management in communications
    Communicating distributed infrastructures
    Equality and diversity communications

Scope of the workshop:

Science is exciting, enlightening, complex, fundamental, precise, 
logical, and creative, all at the same time. However, for the public to 
get in touch with it and understand why it encompasses all these 
concepts, efforts need to be made to bridge science and society. With 
this aim, communication teams at research infrastructures work with a 
range of methods and channels. They make complex information more 
tangible and disseminate it as broadly as possible so that the public 
can understand and be engaged.



This conference aims to be a hands-on forum for communications, public 
relations and engagement professionals staff to share their experiences 
and expertise. The aim is that participants return home with new ideas 
for their work, by learning how and with which means other research 
institutions are communicating the importance of science and of research 
infrastructures to society.


We are glad to count on a number of prestigious plenary speakers:

    Prof Sheila Rowan - Science at Scale.
    Dr Alfredo Carpineti - Being LGBTQ+ In STEM
    Prof Anu Ohja - The Secret Rulers of the world – the Apollo Moon 
Landings, conspiracy theories and critical thinking skills in a 
“post-truth” world
