Three Conference Streams

Stream 1: Connected Practices

With the growing importance and valuing of knowledge transfer and knowledge mobilization, researchers’ and science journalists and communicators’ goals and activities have an opportunity to grow together in a mutually supportive and beneficial way.

What can we learn from each other? How can we work together to increase the knowledge and understanding of science outside of the academy? How do we negotiate the respective needs, goals and obligations of our respective fields of practice?

Stream 2: Connecting People

How do we best connect with researchers and scientists? How do we best reach our audiences? How do we bring people together to facilitate the exchange of knowledge?

Stream 3: New Ways of Connecting

Emerging and established digital technologies create new possibilities for science communications. How can we best use these tools to connect – with each other as a professional community, with audiences, with other stories?
