The BA and ecsite-uk have received funding from the Sciencewise grants scheme to run a series of Working Lunches in the Autumn this year. We are currently planning the lunches and are looking for suggestions of topics and projects to be included. Please e-mail me with any suggestions you have for topics or speakers (or feel free to open discussions on the list). The working lunches will provide opportunities for professional science communicators from a range of disciplines to enhance their skills in and knowledge of current developments in public engagement, particularly dialogue, by sharing good practice, introducing new developments and networking The working lunches aim to: - enable the science communication community to identify its strengths and weaknesses in relation to public dialogue - provide opportunities to share good practice and develop new skills by addressing the identified strengths and weaknesses - to highlight approaches and knowledge from related fields, such as social science, sustainable development and health - to encourage collaborative projects - to provide opportunities for informal networking, including supporting new people in the field In the past lunches have been held on: (reports available at http://www/.the-ba.net/scicomm) Communicating New Science Communicating risk & medicine Creating bigger impacts Facilitating Dialogue Finding Funding Freelancing Marketing Mixed Audience Events Networking Science Festivals New Ways of Engaging the Young Planet Science Outreach Reaching New Audiences Science Communication and the Scottish Science Strategy Science Communication in remote areas Socially Excluded Audiences Nicholas Hillier Science in Society Manager The BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) Wellcome Wolfson Building 165 Queen's Gate London SW7 5HE T 020 7019 4939 F 0870 770 7102 ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System on behalf of the BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) ________________________________________________________________________ ********************************************************************** 1.
