- Round table discussion
The purpose of
this meeting is to bring together very active science communicators from three
areas of “big science” – particle physics, nuclear physics, and astronomy and
have them share their experiences in engaging the public. This will allow us
to take stock of what has been done before, and talk about new ideas for public
engagement in the future. There will be plenty of time for discussion and
networking at this event.
If you would
like to make a short (5 minute) presentation on your own experiences or ideas
for outreach activities then please contact David Jenkins. Registration is not
necessary but it would be helpful if you could indicate your interest in
attending, especially if you will come for lunch so we can plan the catering!
Please
respond to David Jenkins ([log in to unmask]).
This meeting
is sponsored by the Nuclear Physics group of the Institute of Physics.
