Public & Science Sweden are joining the European Science Engagement Conference 2024 in Tbilisi on 15-16 May. This years’ conference will discuss “The Value of Identity – Public Engagement Beyond Boundaries”.
At #EUSEA24, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with like-minded professionals from all over Europe and beyond. Together we’ll exchange best practices, and explore innovative approaches to science engagement.
On May 15 Public & Science Sweden together with Falling Walls Engage, Berlin and SciCo, Greece will run a session on Youth, science and democracy! The session will explore barriers to youth inclusion in societal issues and examine how involvement in science shapes their societal identity. Through roundtable discussions, participants will exchange best practices, leading to the creation of a “10-point guide” for effective and inclusive youth involvement.
