Evolving Science Communication

We were delighted to celebrate the ten year anniversary of science communication postgraduate programmes at UWE Bristol on Friday 4 April 2014.

The one-day conference was held at the Watershed in Bristol, and included presentations on the latest national and international trends, presentations from our graduates, and opportunities for delegates to present their latest, ideas, projects and research.

The 2014 conference programme (PDF) details the day's events, and was designed in partnership with our graduates to reflect the most contemporary thoughts and issues facing the field. Delegates were able to take part by either submitting a PechaKucha presentation (a presentation of 20 slides which are shown for 20 seconds each with an emphasis on images) or a poster presentation (posters were shown during the drinks reception).

We accepted presentations around the following themes:

• Online and Digital Communication
• Arts and Creative Communication
• New and ‘Hard to Reach’ Audiences
• Other (everything and anything!)

The conference was a great success, enjoyed by delegates and presenters alike. For a taste of the conference see Clare Wilkinson's Open University blog about the day.
