Workshop on Science Communication for Sustainable Development

Entebbe, Uganda
SciDev.Net is holding a four-day workshop in Entebbe, Uganda between 29 September and 3 October on Science
Communication for Sustainable Development. It will bring together a group of
scientists, public relations officers, print and radio/TV journalists along
with professionals from academies of science, government departments,
science and technology policy institutions and non-governmental
organisations. Participants will be mostly from the eastern African region
and will explore how capacity for science communication can be enhanced in
the region.
The workshop will combine presentations from invited speakers (from Africa,
Europe and North America) with a series of practical learning exercises and
structured discussion groups aimed at sharing and strengthening science
communication practices and helping to identify key resource and training
needs.
SciDev.Net is organising and running the workshop with the support of the
African Academy of Sciences (AAS), the Ugandan National Academy of Sciences
(UNAS), the Ugandan National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST), and
the InterAcademy Panel (IAP).

If you would like to attend the workshop, further details and an application

Participation in the meeting is free, although participants will be expected
to cover their travel and accommodation costs where possible. A limited
amount of funding is available to cover the costs of African participants.
