Jenny
Many thanks for this. This looks good and will be a very useful resource. I
would like to make some small changes to the Techniquest items but will
contact you directly re this. Do you have a deadline for any changes?

It appears that the link to the BA web site under the listing of 'Events',
'Science Weeks and Festivals' followed by 'Events by Region (Searchable)
from the British Association' does not work. If you click the link, you get
a message 'page not found' and 'the page you are trying to reach no longer
exists'. However on the same page where you get that message there is a link
to the BA web site.

Cheers, Sue.

> Hello everyone,

> The British Council has asked us at SPRU to create a guide to highlight UK
> excellence in science communication. It differs from other guides in that it
> is meant to highlight the best of what is happening in the UK. We'd love to
> have your views on an early draft.
> 
> At the moment, we believe the guide is a useful one. But it is still very
> much work-in-progress, and we need to know more about what you would like to
> find on a resource such as this.
> 
> The website highlights:
> 
>   * some of the UK academic departments where science communication research
> is done
>   * a list of courses in science communication, with links to their web
> pages
>   * information about some of the mentoring and fellowship opportunities in
> science communication
>   * details of some of the science weeks and festivals that take place
> during the year
>   * sources of funding for science communication
> 
> and other science-communication related events and resources.
> 
> Our task now is to make the resource more useful to international science
> communicators. We would like to highlight the UK resources, departments,
> journals, events and courses that you rate highly. We would be very grateful
> if you could tell us what you think of the resource. Perhaps you would like
> to add your department to the list? Or maybe you are aware of another
> science communication journal to our list of academic publications?
> 
> If you would like to suggest changes to current text (perhaps you would like
> a different sentence describing the activities of your own department?) then
> please do get in touch.
> 
> The draft website is available on a temporary hosting at
> 
> http://www.jennygristock.com/scicom
> 
> Past drafts of the website focused heavily on the history of science
> communication. We have since switched focus, so this context is currently
> absent. To remedy this, we are currently working on some concise text to
> provide some background, which can then lead into more information about the
> dialogue activities of various kinds that are taking place today.

> The guide is being created by SPRU for British Council Science in
> Manchester.
