ScienceComm'22: Register now!
22 Juni 2022
Naturhistorisches Museum Bern
The annual conference ScienceComm brings together Swiss science communication experts and offers them a platform for exchanging views and information. The conference is intended for representatives of higher education institutions, science festivals, press and public relations offices, the arts, museums and institutes of education as well as science journalists and politicians involved in education policies. A different inspiring venue and main topics are chosen each year. The conference has succeeded in establishing itself in the space of five years, attracting about 200 participants on average. It offers a programme rich in variety, both in terms of content and methods, including well-known keynote speakers from Switzerland and abroad as well as an evening programme.
The thematic focus areas are the tension between science and democracy, health and data visualization.
We are particularly pleased to announce Didier Trono, virologist at EPFL and former member of the Covid-19 Science Task Force, as the keynote speaker. He will share his rich experience in communication at the intersection of science, society and policy, and his ideas for future health and science communication.
Through the collaboration with the Agora funding instrument of the Swiss National Science Foundation, the exchange between researchers and communicators will also be promoted at ScienceComm'22. Once again, the Optimus Agora prize will be awarded during the congress, and two exciting panel discussions will take place. There will also be a supporting program in the Museumsquartier in Bern.

Contribute to the development of the next generation of scientists!
Join the pool of 300+ experts in our database.
What’s it about?
SCNAT's Commission for the Promotion of Young Scientists makes its database of scientific experts available to teachers and high school students, as well as textbook publishers, to facilitate contacts and promote science among young people.
How is the data tank used?
Students, teachers, and publishers can contact you about your provided information to collaborate or organize events with you. We ask you to name your areas of expertise with examples of topics, e.g. for visits or excursions with school classes, or Matura thesis topics.
Sponsorships for Matura theses?
The sponsorships are the heart of our database. Each year, more than 30 Matura theses are supported. As an expert, you advise students on the choice of topic or provide the infrastructure to answer the question they have developed themselves. Our goal is to increase the number of sponsorships to about 50 per year by 2024.
Who are we looking for?
We welcome your application if you are currently working in science (research, production, analysis, etc.). You are happy to share your passion and have the necessary resources (time for visits or lectures, infrastructure for [at least] four practical half-days during a Matura thesis). It is basically a voluntary commitment. SCNAT is not financially involved in collaborations with publishers. The experts set their own fees as service providers.
Thank you for your commitment!

Feel free to forward our request to your colleagues. Thank you very much.
