SUMMARY:#EUSEA2023 Bolzano\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:On the 3rd and 4th of May 2023 we will meet in the Tyrolean city of Bolzano in Italy. Get ready for a swirling programme with exciting keynotes\, mind-opening workshops and challenging debates! #EUSEA23 will be held at Eurac Research Headquarters in partnership with EUSEA and the team from Eurac Research Communication! \n\n\n\nMake sure to arrive the day before the main programme to enjoy an exclusive EUSEA-visit to the famous Ötzi Museum – see the social program! \n\n\n\nPathfinders on a Mission!\n\n\n\nExploring Engagement in a Complex World\n\n\n\nWhy did we choose this motto for our conference?\n\n\n\nWe live in a world in which challenges seem to be increasingly complex and where solutions can only be found in interconnected ecosystems. Communicating this complexity is key when it comes to stimulating curiosity\, engagement and trust in research and innovation processes. \n\n\n\nBut in times of rapid transformation and multiple disruptions\, we need more than a translation of research results to “the public”. We need new partnerships\, new skills and new methodologies to involve citizens and stakeholders\, researchers and policy makers in active co-creation processes. \n\n\n\nHow best can we embrace change\, discover innovative pathways and create new relationships inside and outside academia? These will be questions addressed at #EUSEA23 in Bolzano. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss the social program of #EUSEA23!\n\n\n\nTuesday 02.05. 18:00Visit Ötzi the Iceman @ South Tyrol Archeology Museum \n\n\n\nMore than 5\,000 years ago\, a man ascended the icy heights of the Ötztal Alps and died there. In 1991\, his remains – together with his clothing and equipment\, mummified and frozen – were discovered by chance. This archaeological sensation has since provided a unique glimpse into the life of a Chalcolithic man traveling at high altitudes. \n\n\n\nAfter many years of investigation by highly-specialized research teams\, the mummy recovered from the glacier and the accompanying artifacts is now housed at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. Coming face to face with Ötzi the Iceman we are not only fascinated\, and astonished\, but also moved by this encounter with the past. Research has revealed the fate of this individual bringing his story to our imaginations. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n© South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology/Ochsenreiter\n\n\n\nTuesday 02.05. 20:00Pizza & Beer @ Eurac Research \n\n\n\nMeet and greet the day before the conference in the Eurac Research garden Over beer and pizza\, get to know the conference location\, and network in a relaxed atmosphere\, you can also register for the conference. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 03.05. 18:30South Tyrol’s Autonomy – Guided city tour @ Waltherplatz \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us on a very special walk through Bolzano/Bozen to discover the mechanisms behind South Tyrol’s autonomy. Find out how our territorial autonomy came about and the special features and influences it has on everyday life in South Tyrol. Our colleagues from the Center for Autonomy Experience will be your guides. \n\n\n\nDuration: 1.5 h.Start: Waltherplatz/Piazza WaltherEnd: Conference Dinner @ Mareccio Castle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 03.05. 20:00Conference Dinner @ Mareccio Castle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClose to the centre of the historic town of Bolzano and nevertheless in the heart of nature\, lies Castle Mareccio/Maretsch. The castle dates back to the 12th century and will be the setting for our conference dinner. During dinner\, we will learn how to yodel together in a short workshop with Markus Prieth.

SUMMARY:Parallel Sessions V - 5.1: Horizon Talks
DESCRIPTION:Gerard Bros Perez\, Policy Officer\, European Commission\nBroadening STEAM access for all through EU-funded science engagement \nThe European Commission places great importance on encouraging access to STEAM fields and careers\, including by promoting EU-funded researchers and role models that inspire youngsters all over the world to participate in science. Through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions\, the EU’s reference program for doctoral education and postdoctoral training\, the Commission is funding several science engagement activities that are contributing to this goal. This talk will explore how these initiatives are making a difference and contributing to reaching specific communities all over Europe. \nMarita Müller\, University of Technology Brandenburg Cottbus-Senftenberg\, Germany\nScience Communication in the Periphery \nScience Communication in the Periphery Brandenburg is currently experiencing a second disruptive movement after the changes in 1989. In this time of transformation the Science Ministry is focusing on sci comm as a means for dialogue and participation with the civil society. For this purpose\, Brandenburg has set up seven offices in smaller cities which is where a great deal of sci comms formats are now taking place. This approach raises some questions: Will sci comms formats help us get in touch with civil society? Is this an appropriate method for getting people involved and engaged? And how can we measure it? \nI also would like to collect information whether there are similar approaches. For this purpose I would like to share a google document. Any participants can contribute to the document\, adding examples according to certain criteria such as: Who is the author\, what is its goal? How does it work? What is the investment in manpower and money? Is impact being measured\, and how? \nGeoff Crane\, Questacon – the National Science and Technology Centre\, Australia\nNational Science Week: Community led science engagement in Australia \nHow do you get an entire continent to celebrate science for one week? Evolving for over 25 years\, National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of all things science. It’s a chance to see science\, talk science and do science. Recent innovations have included the introduction of annual themed event holder guides to encourage new audiences\, new event holders and new venues. An annual online citizen science project is conducted by ABC Science\, part of the national broadcaster\, enabling engagement no matter where people are located. Each year a cohort of prominent researchers and science communicators are recruited as volunteer ambassadors to promote the week in the media. The recent move to online engagement has been embraced\, with many events offered in hybrid mode\, and the festival’s website has been updated to accommodate that shift. \nJurgita Barynienė\, Kaunas University of Technology\, Lithuania:\nTowards the sustainable co-creative solutions applying Challenge-based learning approach: Partnership between Universities\, industry and communities \nUnder conditions of uncertainty\, the main task for higher education institutions is to answer the question how to equip students with the competencies for life so that they could be active and responsible citizens. Challenge-based learning (CBL) can be seen as a new and transformative learning approach that helps students to develop skills required when solving the challenges of modern society in the context of uncertainty. At the same time\, CBL brings together students\, teachers\, representatives from industry and public institutions as well as communities to solve real life problems together and to create a solution that is environmentally\, socially\, and economically sustainable to achieve individual and common wellbeing. \nLiselotte Englund\, Karlstad University\, Sweden:\nGrowing into communicative and creative researchers: Swedish doctoral course helped 300 PhD students find their tone and voice in reaching out. \nEducating future researchers in science communication is an important task for a university\, and also of great societal relevance. At Karlstad University\, Sweden\, doctoral students have completed a postgraduate course\, titled “Communicating science” for three decades. The course has centred on elements such as popular science writing\, oral presentation techniques and media training. The extensive course evaluation survey has\, among other things\, given feedback on whether the course made the doctoral student better equipped to communicate research outside their own scientific field. This presentation reports on a study of evaluations submitted during a fifteen-year period by a total of 335 doctoral students in the fields of health\, natural sciences\, technology\, humanities\, and social sciences. The results indicate that the doctoral course has been a successful model\, contributing to the growth of the doctoral students\, scientifically as well as communicatively.

SUMMARY:Parallel Sessions V - 5.2  Horizon Talks
DESCRIPTION:Rony Ben Chaim\, Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem\, Israel\nCommunicating without words- bridging language and culture \nThe modern world and globalization bring on many opportunities but also create complex challenges. Israel is no exception with its various conflicts that add complexity to life\, and Jerusalem might be the most complex city of all. \nWe are using the MAKE methodology to bridge between communities by initiating conversations in after-school programs for school students from many different communities. \nIn my 8 minutes talk\, I will demonstrate 4 different ways that help bring together kids from very different backgrounds\, (such as Jewish\, Arabs\, Ultra-Orthodox) sometimes with no common language. \nThe MAKE approach turns abstract ideas into various kinds of reality by enabling brainstorming\, experimenting (and sometimes failing)\, and collaborating. During this process\, the kids overcome the obvious obstacles (language\, religion\, etc.) and their communication leads to deeper understanding and higher engagement. Learning by making is a great way to bridge languages. \nEmma Clarke\, University of Malta: Equal By Nature\nScience and Arts as a tool for Integration of Refugee Communities \nHumans love boundaries. They help them control resources\, concentrate them and develop the land\, sea and air. Borders have pushed innovation but also wars. What can humans learn from their own DNA to co-exist with each other and rea­lise that in the end\, we are all human? Stopping that bloodshed is paramount to our progress. \nThe project Equal by Nature explored these issues by bringing together diverse communities around Malta to play with genetics and arts leading to a concrete output: the participants collectively deciding how to address the challenges their community faces. The project reached out to refugee communities and local citizen groups. \nThe project successfully ran workshops and developed artworks that the refugees presented during an exhibition in Science in the City\, Malta’s largest science and arts festival. The workshop attendees are also developing a fashion and science show\, with several other activities in other to engage refugees and other communities in Malta. \nIsabella Riccò\, Universitat Rovira i Virgili\, Spain and Adele de Stefani\,ISRAA\, Italy\nAGORAge: Ageing in a Caring Community \nThe talk will present AGORAge: Ageing in a Caring Community project (2022/2023) (pilot of the H2020-COESOproject) coordinated by University Rovira I Virgili and Istituto per Servizi di Ricovero e Assistenza agli Anziani (ISRAA). AGORAge is a citizens science project that promotes a process of social intervention to encourage the inclusion in their neighbourhoods of older people who live in nursing homes and cohousing. By levering on relationships and actions of mutual aid and support as a vehicle of reciprocal responsibility and social safeness\, the focus is on creating a sense of belonging to a neighbourhood\, which plays a significant role in favouring psychological well-being. Therefore\, emphasis has been placed on relationships as privileged channels for creating a community that is not only inclusive but also caring. The expected outcome is the co-creation of a toolkit containing theoretical information\, operational tools and methodologies for generating a caring community. \nRosana Sanahuja\, Universitat Jaume I\, Spain\nBoosting public engagement from the Ethical Governance of Science: The ETHNA System case \nAchieving greater involvement of citizens and stakeholders requires a push from the epicentre of Higher Education\, Funding and Research Centres. The ETHNA System project has designed and implemented an ethical science governance system that includes public engagement as a key factor in achieving more open and accountable science. The ETHNA governance system\, designed through a reflective and collaborative process that included consultation with 1\,300 European stakeholders\, is being piloted in six European centres. The presentation discusses how public engagement has been integrated into the three mechanisms that articulate the governance system: codes of ethics and good practice\, ethical guidelines and research and innovation ethics committees. The analysis of the implementation of this flexible system\, which can be adapted to each of the centres\, provides keys and proposals for promoting public engagement through governance. \nClaire Riordan\, CÚRAM\, SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices\, Ireland\nScience Gets Cinematic \nScience on Screen’ is a collaborative public engagement programme established in 2015 through partnership between CÚRAM\, a Science Foundation Ireland medical device research centre and Ardán\, a non-profit organisation supporting creatives within the audio-visual industry in Ireland. The seven half-hour documentaries produced through the programme to date have reached over 1.3 million viewers worldwide\, had 11 national broadcasts\, been screened at 31 different film festivals in 17 countries and won six international awards. Participants will learn how the Science on Screen model was developed\, about funding and budget allowances for filmmakers and the impact that participation in the programme has had on all contributors. The session will speak to the importance of building trust within these partnerships to create engaging\, emotive films that speak to public audiences about the importance of current research and how it affects our quality of life.

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions V - 5.3 Towards a strong foundation: The Principles that Public Engagement needs in a Europe-wide effort towards greater Citizen-Research exchange
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Beiter and Tabea Brietzke\, Cyber Valley\, Germany \nIn this session\, we want to present the german Public Engagement Principles (“Public Engagement Kodex”)\, a document which was drafted in co-creation with practitioners from the field. In an interactive format we want to find out: What principles do you follow in your everyday work? Can the document serve as a blueprint for Europe-wide public engagement principles? What should be added\, what should be changed? Therefore\, this session fits perfectly to this year’s conference topic: We are pathfinders on the mission to create shared public engagement principles that guide us and that we share across borders.

In academia\, this might be the next publication or research grant while in wider society\, people are consumed with the clear and present challenges of everyday life. How in such complex landscapes\, can we enrich scientific progress through active participation of communities\, which so many of us want to see. \n\n\nOne of the most influential group of actors in this process are the major funders of research themselves\, bringing not only resource but influence over how research is carried out. In this session we’ll hear from major funders from different countries including the United Kingdom Research Council (UKRI)\, Swedish Research Council (SRC)\, Science Foundation Ireland (SFC) and Germany’s Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft (German Science Association) around their strategic intent to better embed meaningful public engagement in research and how engagement practitioners and brokers can play a key role. \nFollowing a brief panel discussion we will invite audience participation around some key questions including how to position engaged research as more than ‘nice to do’\, asking if funders should be more active in influencing institutional behaviour\, and whether we have really seen a shift from a ‘publish or perish’ culture. \n\n  \n\n\n\n[/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_text] \nMeet the panel\n[/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=”5/6″ 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] \n\nCathy Foley is Programme Manager for Education and Public Engagement at Science Foundation Ireland (SFI).

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]

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]

Our innovative Circular Science Engagement program addresses this by bringing scientists back to their communities to conduct workshops for 4th graders. By connecting over 1500 children with local scientists\, we aim to ensure no child reaches 5th grade without meeting a scientist. Our impact assessment reveals positive shifts in children’s perceptions of science and scientists\, fostering scientific literacy and social justice. Through collaboration with teachers\, municipalities\, and media\, we bridge gaps between science and society. Children’s misconceptions about science are corrected\, empowering them to become curious\, participatory citizens. Join us in our mission for a more inclusive science engagement landscape. \nDiana Tartaglia\, CNR-INO\, Italy and Costanza Toninelli\, CNR-INO\, Italy \nA quantum physics exhibition: students and visitors engagement evaluation \nThe second quantum revolution promises new technologies within 5 to 10 years\, with global investments focusing on Quantum Technology (QT) research and public outreach. In November 2023\, CNR-INO organized a quantum physics exhibition in Florence\, part of the Italian Quantum Weeks and World Quantum Day initiatives\, to engage students and the public. Pre- and post-visit surveys assessed visitors’ perceptions of quantum technologies’ societal impact. This poster presents key findings from the survey analysis\, filling a gap in understanding public attitudes toward QT\, especially in Italy. The study aims to establish a baseline of Italian opinions at both local and national levels\, informing future research and potentially serving as a model for similar studies worldwide. \nSanskruti Biswal\, The University of Edinburgh\, United Kingdom \nUsing interdisciplinarity to tell richer stories \nInterdisciplinary research is crucial in addressing global challenges\, extending to public engagement. “Our Mind\,” a project by Edinburgh Neuroscience\, funded diverse student-led research across disciplines at the University of Edinburgh. The initiative explored various aspects of the human mind\, culminating in a public event attended by over 50 people. This funding empowered non-traditional research projects\, fostering creativity and innovation. Breaking disciplinary boundaries\, the program showcased how diverse perspectives enrich public engagement efforts. Collaboration among participants resulted in a coherent narrative presented through various media\, demonstrating the multifaceted exploration of the mind. This highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in both research and public engagement\, bridging gaps and fostering inclusive dialogue. \nGrace D’Arcy\, Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland \nEmpowering Future Leaders: Citizen Science as a Tool to diversify representation in STEM and Drive Environmental Change \nThe Academy of the Near Future\, in partnership with CONNECT and Dublin City Council\, presents an award-winning engagement program aiming to empower citizens for sustainable and inclusive smart communities. Our citizen science initiative engaged over 500 young people across Ireland in collecting hyperlocal data on traffic-related air pollution. Through community-based action projects\, we addressed air pollution and promoted active transport. This poster explores how citizen science promotes environmental action among students from diverse backgrounds\, emphasizing inclusivity and amplifying underrepresented voices. Our collaboration with ICHANGE offers insights into building more equitable citizen science initiatives\, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. We showcase strategies for engaging students and discuss impacts on awareness\, empowerment\, and environmental advocacy\, offering valuable insights for inclusive citizen science initiatives. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n[/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]

Since its inception last year\, it has led to engaging Open Mike events where scientists share personal\, witty\, and poignant science stories with theatre audiences. This format has become a cornerstone of the university’s outreach activities. I’ll outline the format\, methodology\, and discuss its impact on both the audience and researchers. While scientists excel at discussing their work\, they often lack experience engaging broader audiences emotionally. I’ll explain how we address this gap\, empowering scientists to become compelling science storytellers. We’ll examine the results and challenges of this approach and highlight its positive effects on the storytellers\, fostering their artistic identity and societal awareness. \n  \nEmma Clarke\, University of Malta\, Malta \nCan citizen science be an effective platform for social integration? \nProject Poseidon\, funded by IMPETUS\, aims to break social barriers through citizen science\, focusing on Posidonia Oceanica\, a crucial Mediterranean seagrass. Partnering with Spark 15\, we engage migrants and locals in monitoring and cleaning plastic pollution and reforesting seagrass meadows. Our goal is to foster community ties while conserving a shared resource. Collaboration with Blue Ecotech revealed a need for Anchor free zones in Natura 2000 sites\, prompting efforts to mobilize the community for seagrass protection. Addressing the EUSEA theme of cultural boundaries\, our project actively includes often-excluded migrant populations in citizen science\, overcoming participation barriers and adapting our approach. We’ll discuss challenges and lessons learned\, highlighting our innovative approach of fostering ownership within underserved communities. \n  \n  \nJoana Bordalo\, Native Scientists\, Portugal \nCircularity in science engagement: a new concept to tackle inequality \nOur presentation introduces a program that is based in the concept of Circular Science Engagement and it aims at humanizing science and addressing education inequalities. Launched in 2021\, it brings scientists back to primary schools to conduct hands-on workshops with 4th-grade students\, reaching over 1\,500 students in underserved areas of Portugal. Impact analysis reveals increased science engagement and vocabulary among participating children\, with 66% meeting a scientist for the first time and 93% expressing high levels of interest. This innovative approach combines evidence-based education methodologies with the concept of Circular Science Engagement\, fostering community involvement and promoting equity by bringing science education directly to underserved communities. Our talk will delve into program development\, implementation\, and its potential impact\, highlighting the transformative power of science engagement in marginalized areas. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
