Join international and Japanese speakers to discuss the
future of science communication in Japan. What do we
want for the field of science communication in 5, 10, or
20 years, and what needs to be done to get there?
Japanese science communication has enjoyed steady
growth over the past 10 years, but those gains are at
risk of being lost without a vision for what comes next. A
diverse range of speakers will offer insight into both the
problems and the potential for science communication
in Japan, and give their thoughts on how to address our
challenges and capitalize on our strengths. Input from
attendees will also be encouraged for a collaborative
discussion of how best to drive our field forward.
This symposium provides an opportunity for science
communication stakeholders to identify common goals,
and develop cooperative partnerships to achieve them.
This event will be conducted in English
