The deadline for submissions to the 8th World Conference of Science Journalists has now passed.

Thank you all for your submissions.

We have had an overwhelming response with nearly 200 proposals coming from 42 countries in all continents.

The first lovely impression is that people really have put their heart to the making of these “dream session proposals”.

The proposed topics for seminars, plenaries and workshops run from cutting edge seminars of data sourcing journalism to digital media and the more traditional best sellers of all science writers conferences: how to proceed from hard research facts to an interesting story.

More information will be available very soon, as the Programme Committee is now reviewing each proposal and we will be in touch with those of you who have left their proposal.

In case of any questions or other ideas that you want to deliver to the organisers of WCSJ 2013, please contact Conference Director.

See you in Helsinki!

 

Ulla Järvi
Chair of the Programme Committee
