Standing up for science | How scientists can engage with the public

"Sense about Science" offers a free workshop on how to make your voice heard in public debates about science.

Meet scientists who have engaged with the media and policy. Learn from EU policymakers why good evidence is important and how scientists can inform policy. Talk to science journalists about how the media works and what journalists expect from scientists.

FREE for early career researchers and scientists (PhD students, post-docs or equivalent) in all sciences, engineering, medicine and social science.

  • When: Friday 9th June 2017, 9am - 4pm 
  • Where: Neth-ER, Brussels

Sense about Science is an independent charity that challenges misrepresentation of science and evidence in public life. We advocate openness and honesty about research, and ensure the public interest in sound science and evidence is recognised in public debates and policymaking.
