Dear colleague,

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 28th edition of the Ecsite Annual Conference on 15-17 June in Porto, Portugal. The conference is co-organised by Ecsite and our local hosts, the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto and the Ciência Viva network, renowned for the warmth of their welcome and the quality of their science engagement activities.

Join 1,100+ professionals from 50 countries: science communicators, exhibition developers, facilitators, CEOs, academics, policy makers... and everyone else in the science engagement community.

The Ecsite conference has a special spirit of openness, generosity and boldness. It welcomes newcomers with open arms and returning participants like old friends. It is a congenial assembly, a trusted and honest arena to learn from each other’s experiences, try out new tools and ideas, critically question ourselves and shape our field’s future.

The success of the Ecsite conference also lies in its balanced programme delivered by almost 400 speakers, combining two days of in-depth pre-conference workshops, three days of main conference sessions, a busy Business Bistro trade fair, two spaces dedicated to tinkering and gaming and countless networking opportunities. Check the online programme!

Cherry-pick from the programme’s 100+ parallel sessions and workshops ranging from learning ecosystems to emotion-driven design, get inspired by our two thoughtful keynote speakers, meet new partners, enjoy the conference’s brilliant social events in beautiful Porto… and nourish the community with your own ideas, skills and energy. Join!
