Thematic groups

Thematic groups bring together Ecsite professionals to exchange ideas and best practices on specific topics within the field. There are currently two different thematic groups active within the network.

Rio +20 : What will YOU do?

Rio+20 is going to be a major event for the planet. Governments, international institutions and major groups will define pathways to a safer, more equitable, cleaner, greener and more prosperous world.

Through all the process it will be the time to discuss the future we want. Several Ecsite members have already planned events to make their public participate to the process or to directly contribute to Rio+20 debate. Ecsite’s Nature Group wants to promote all local initiatives of science museums and centres related to Rio+20 by publishing them widely via Ecsite’s communications channels. The Ecsite network wants to learn from you.

Please send a short description of your event to Michèle Antoine, chair of the Nature Group, before 30 April: michele.antoine@naturalsciences.be

The first Ecsite thematic group dedicated to building a learning community for explainers by investigating their roles and training practices.

The aim of REV is to stimulate and help facilitate research and evaluation in science centres and museums across Europe.
