It's a chance to share the new ideas from across culture and society that will inspire and move the sector forward. This year, we're holding sessions for a range of experience levels, from those after an introduction to science communication, to experts who want to have in-depth discussions about issues facing the sector. The programme and ticket sales will go live in mid-February.

Proposing a session Your session could look to the future of communications, and science's role in culture and society, or it could address one of our key topics for 2015: * Communicating through play * Science communication for the public good? * Crowdsourcing * Telling stories with complex science and big data. There's more info about the key topics, and about proposing a session at our Conference FAQs<http://www.britishscienceassociation.org/science-communication-conference/conference-faqs>. If you'd like to discuss your idea, or have any questions, contact Anna Perman<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. ______________________________________________ The British Science Association believes that science should be a part of - rather than set apart from - society and culture, and is owned by the wider community. Our programmes encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to engage with science, become ambassadors for science, and ultimately to be empowered to challenge and influence British science - whether they work in science or not.
