2012 Ecsite Conference

Overview

The 2012 Conference was hosted by Cité de l'espace. In total 955 attendees from 46 different countries gathered at Cité de l'espace in Toulouse, France. The host choose the theme "Space and time, unlimited". The concepts of space and time challenge science centres with endless options and opportunities. At the conference we explored questions such as "How can we use time and space to communicate science in new and innovative ways so that we remain relevant to our audiences?" and "Can our institutional spaces keep up with the times in an unlimited way?"
