Apologies for cross posting, but list members may be interested in the following (very detailed) list of science journalism / communication courses across Europe.

 

Best,

I am very pleased to enclose a copy of the second edition of the European Guide to Science Journalism Training, issued by the European Commission's Directorate General for Research. The Guide is designed to encourage those who wish to specialise in communicating science by increasing awareness of the wealth of training opportunities available.

 

The Guide contains an inventory of the training courses in science journalism across the 27 Member States of the European Union, as well as exchange programmes, scholarships and other initiatives supporting science journalism. The information contained therein has been updated during the past month, following the first publication of the Guide in December 2007 during the first European Forum on Science Journalism.

 

We would like to invite you to include this Guide on your web-site or newsletter and to disseminate it among your colleagues and interested parties. The link to the Guide is available on the Europa web-site:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/conferences/2007/bcn2007/guide_to_science_journalism_en.pdf

 

You are also welcome to order printed copies by sending an e-mail to [log in to unmask] before 10^th September, specifying your postal address and the number of copies required.

 

We trust that the Guide will improve the culture of science communication and increase the place of science in the media in Europe.

 

Your cooperation in helping this information reach those interested would be extremely valuable.

 

I am looking forward to receiving your feedback or comments. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Your sincerely,
