Dear Steve,
I've been having a browse of ENSCOT website and it looks very
interesting. At the Science Communication Unit we already offer an MSc
in Science Communication and a lot of our students are International.
How can we become a part of this network?
Best regards
Laura

Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Crash Course in Science Communication
Dear Laura,
Two European networks that you might be interested in:
ENSCOT - this was funded under the European Commission's Framework 5
RPAST Programme. It produced a series of science communication modules
that are available on CD on request to me.
ESConet Workshops - this follows up from ENSCOT, enlarged to 17
institutions in 12 EU countries, and is FP6 funded. In this network we
are developing a series of short Science Communication workshop modules
that cover much of what you are proposing. These are still under
development, but we hope they will be ready to roll out by the New Year.
The relevant websites are;
www.enscot.eu.com
and www.esconet.org.
I hope this is helpful,
Steve
