This attention has rarely to do with the question of the relevance of one of the oldest existing institutions to today’s radical societal and technological transformations. Universities get attention because of the way they engage in the public sphere. In contexts as distinct from each other as the USA\, Hungary\, or Russia\, a university’s place and role in society is put into question or\, in worst cases\, prescribed. By going back to the past and often forgotten tradition of theorizing the university\, this presentation will try to come to the present issues with some new perspectives. \n  \nProf. Giga Zedania was a Rector of Ilia State University (Tbilisi\, Georgia) from 2014 to 2022. Before\, he served as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Head of the Quality Assurance Service at Ilia State University\, where he has been teaching as an associate and then as a full professor since 2006. Since 2022\, he has been the Director of the Center for Advanced Studies. He studied philosophy\, sociology and cultural studies in Georgia\, USA\, Hungary and Germany\, obtaining his PhD from Ruhr University Bochum. His publications range from European intellectual history to the socio-political transformation of the South Caucasus. He served as the President of the Black Sea University Network (2016-2018). Prof. Giga Zedania has been a member of the Governing Council of the Magna Charta Observatory (MCO) since November 19th\, 2020.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The question of identity and coherence plays a role all the time – in politics but also in daily life. Also\, in science communication we feel the differences – we use different terms for it\, the concepts are sometimes different\, and projects often have to be adapted to the regional circumstances. I will present some general features of this topic – and give specific examples for it from the point of view of the national organization Science et Cité. \nSwitzerland is sometimes seen as Europe in a nutshell (even if it is not a member of the EU!). And perhaps as an innovative model for a future\, more democratic Europe? As an example I can show how the national organization Science et Cité deals with the challenges of multilingual and multicultural contexts. \n\n\nAnne Kearns\, School of Education’s Science and Society Research Group\, Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland and Emma Clarke\, ADAPT\, SFI Research Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology\, Ireland \nSteps from Fragmentation to Deliberation: Practical tips for creating more inclusive spaces to build confidence in diverse participants to share insights \nThis talk explores creating inclusive spaces for dialogue\, transcending divisions for collaborative solutions. Practical steps\, including setting expectations\, using conversation codes\, and follow-up\, ensure diverse communities feel safe in contributing to research. These methods\, developed in collaboration with deaf communities (SignON Project)\, marginalized groups\, and rural aging communities\, foster inclusion in citizen science and participatory research. Sharing procedures and tips\, we encourage practitioners to plan engagements inclusively\, fostering a sense of belonging and enabling full participation. Attendees will gain ‘Top Tips’ for inclusive engagement\, including setting expectations and post-interaction follow-up\, facilitating meaningful contributions on diverse topics like facial recognition and digital health. \n  \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions I – 1.2 Horizon Talks
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nFaciliator: Rony Ben-Chaim \n \n\nHelena Robert i Campos\, La Palma Research Centre (LPRC)\, Spain \nMACARONIGHT: Fostering the sense of belonging and engagement in science from the margins \nMACARONIGHT\, an annual event in Macaronesia\, transcends physical barriers to unite citizens and science in the EU’s Outermost Regions. Focused on the identity\, culture\, knowledge\, and heritage of the islands\, it fosters a sense of belonging and connects diverse societal groups within and between archipelagos. By addressing pressing topics like climate change and the blue economy\, MACARONIGHT sparks interest in research and science\, empowering local communities to explore solutions and participate in broader discussions. Through innovative non-formal education\, it highlights the relevance of research to daily life in often overlooked territories\, challenging perceptions of “changemakers.” This talk will inspire similar initiatives\, fostering synergies in science communication\, public participation\, and identity\, empowering citizens for sustainable futures. \nJackie Gorman\, Midlands Science\, Ireland and Craig Slattery\, University College Dublin\, Ireland \nGenerating Systems Change in Science Outreach Practice \nThis presentation offers an update on a new guide aiming to enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of science outreach\, building on research presented at EUSEA 2023. Insights will be shared on the guide’s circulation\, impact\, and ensuing discussions\, with a focus on driving systemic change. By integrating practices like Plain English use\, equity considerations (via the Equity Compass)\, storytelling\, universal design for learning\, and accessibility design\, the guide aims to empower diverse communities to engage meaningfully with science outreach. Emphasizing a theory of change approach\, the talk addresses challenges while highlighting the potential impact of even small adjustments in practice. Notably\, the guide presents these practices in Plain English\, aligning with international standards\, fostering accessibility and ease of implementation. Attendees will gain appreciation for the guide’s practical yet impactful suggestions\, fostering inclusivity in science outreach practices. \n\nBriony Jackson\, EMBL-EBI\, United Kingdom \nPublic engagement at EMBL-EBI; science for the people\, with the people. \nWe aim to broaden the reach of EMBL-EBI’s work through community engagement\, fostering connections and learning opportunities in bioinformatics. By collaborating directly with various public groups\, including those with limited exposure to data science\, we build lasting relationships. Our partnerships span organizations supporting young carers\, Traveller communities\, individuals with special educational needs and disabilities\, migrant communities\, and a museum hosting community events. Our inclusive approach emphasizes that our work is for everyone. In an 8-minute Horizon talk\, we’ll share insights from our public engagement journey since 2020. We advocate for a collaborative\, relational approach where diverse forms of knowledge are valued. We strive to create a welcoming space—a “sheltered borderland”—where mutual understanding and connection flourish. Our talk will explore the challenges\, successes\, and lessons learned\, inspiring others to embrace inclusive engagement practices and the organizational support necessary for their success. \n\nMiha Kos\, Hiša eksperimentov\, Slovenia \nE-xperimenting; a free Worldwide Science Centre that you enter from home \nTraditional Science Centres provide engaging learning experiences through interactive exhibits\, often requiring a scheduled visit and travel. Imagine bringing this experience home\, accessing exhibits from your living room\, akin to a personal swimming pool. Though limited in size and social interaction\, remote engagement offers unmatched accessibility and frequency. Hiša eksperimentov\, Slovenia’s Science Centre\, pioneers remote exhibit operation via the internet. Experience this innovation firsthand; some prefer hands-on interaction\, while others embrace the online approach\, overcoming financial or social barriers. Our approach extends access to interactive exhibits online\, catering to diverse preferences\, even when others sleep. \n \n\nAoife Taylor\, Science and Society Research Group\, Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland and Joseph Roche\, School of Education\, Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland \nInterrogating Illusions of Progress: Science engagement conferences as inclusive spaces \nConferences serve as pivotal events for researchers and practitioners\, fostering idea sharing\, inspiration\, networking\, and career advancement. However\, despite their significance\, they often fall short in terms of inclusion and accessibility\, perpetuating ‘illusions of progress.’ This presentation delves into the current state of inclusive practices at science communication\, engagement\, and citizen science conferences. It seeks to celebrate achievements while identifying areas for improvement in creating welcoming spaces for diverse identities. Drawing from the paper “Interrogating Illusions of Progress” (Roche et al.\, 2023)\, we aim not only to share perspectives but also to inspire action. By engaging the EUSEA community\, including regular conference attendees and those who’ve experienced exclusion\, we seek input to develop recommendations for conference organizers. Through reflexivity and collective expertise\, we aspire to transcend illusions of progress and truly embed inclusion and accessibility in conference practices. \n  \n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Crisis 2050\, a tabletop role-playing game\, offers a unique approach. Players assume the role of scientists navigating a climate crisis\, using the scientific method and teamwork to succeed. This workshop showcases the game’s ability to develop scientific identities\, essential for effective science engagement. It challenges participants to step into the shoes of researchers\, fostering a deeper understanding of scientific thinking and decision-making. By exploring different identities in a safe\, imaginative environment\, students can cultivate their own scientific identities. Through hands-on gameplay and group discussions\, educators will learn how to adapt role-playing mechanics to enhance science education and engagement practices beyond the workshop.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Lyapugina\, European University at St. Petersburg\, Russia \nIdentity Matters: Exploring Identities in Science Communication from an STS perspective \nNavigating science communication requires addressing the diverse social identities within society. How can science effectively reach across these identities? This presentation delves into this question by examining identities through the lens of Science & Technology Studies (STS). Drawing on M. Callon’s research on patient associations and a case study of a comic book for oncology patients\, I’ll demonstrate how science communication can not only address but also redefine identities. By exploring the implications of this perspective\, we can uncover new research and practice opportunities. Participants are invited to contemplate how identities intersect with science communication and how these interactions shape our understanding and actionable strategies. This STS-informed approach offers a dynamic view of identities\, fostering new discussions and potential avenues for practice in science communication. \n \n\nMariam Dalakishvili\, Ilia State University\, Georgia \n“Fear Rhetoric” in the COVID-19 Discourse and Ethical Dilemmas \nThis talk delves into the COVID-19 pandemic discourse\, focusing on “fear rhetoric” and its ethical implications\, particularly in the context of Orthodox Easter 2020 in Georgia. Through Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis\, it scrutinizes an interview with Dr. Paata Imnadze\, revealing discursive strategies like dramatization and blame-shifting to amplify fear. The clash between the church and state underscores ethical dilemmas\, with the former risking lives for tradition and the latter resorting to fear tactics to avert confrontation. The talk highlights the ethical concerns of spreading fear amid an already stressed populace and explores the intricate interplay of fear\, power\, and ethics during a pandemic. It underscores the influence of contextual background and media on public perception and behavior\, and it examines the moral complexities arising from fear-based communication methods. Overall\, it sheds light on the nuanced dynamics of fear\, ethics\, and power within the COVID-19 crisis. \n  \nLiz Danner\, The Open University\, United Kingdom \nEngagement Career Development: Moving from Introduction to Identity \nMy research investigates the influence of the research impact agenda on career development in UK higher education\, focusing on public engagement as a pathway to impact. While institutions prioritize and reward engagement at project and institutional levels\, individual career development for creating and recognizing impacts remains inconsistent. Analyzing national and institutional strategies revealed a growing emphasis on engagement and impact\, but career development still focuses on basic skills. I propose that advanced training and opportunities for application and reflection are crucial for staff to develop comprehensive engagement identities. Presenting new analysis of institutional and national strategies\, I will explore trends in engagement and impact career development. Attendees will learn how national initiatives shape institutional processes and discuss strategies for enhancing training and support for engaged research careers. I will also discuss this study in the context of my broader doctoral research on the research impact agenda’s effects. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
