SciDev.Net lunch event – claim your space!

SciDev.Net, WCSJ2013 media partner, will run an interesting lunchtime event during the conference:

Bridging science journalism and global development

Wednesday 26 June, 12.50 – 13.30
Consistorium (Press room), University of Helsinki, main building, 2. floor

In 2012 SciDev.Net conducted a survey of nearly 4000 respondents around the world exploring their thoughts on science and how decisions are made. The results informed the organisation’s new strategy and website. The editorial team in London and regional coordinators from across the Global South reflect on the findings and their new focus.

Please note that seating is limited. As food and drink will be provided, please contact [email protected] to request your space.

SciDev.Net is also taking part in the afternoon plenary on the same day in the University Great Hall at 16:00: Core skills for science journalists: Reflections from across cultures

Director Nick Perkins is chairing this plenary looking at the challenges to science journalism in different parts of the world. See program for more details.
