2013 Ecsite Conference

Overview

The 2013 Ecsite Conference took place in Gothenburg, Sweden and was hosted by Universeum. It gathered 1,058 participants from 47 countries. The host Universeum is the National Science Centre of Sweden. They contribute to completed studies, STEM competence supply and action competence for sustainable development. 

This year's theme was "Dreams the spirit of Innovation". Dreams, as sources of uncommon images and ideas, contribute to developing inventions. Once inventions become socially accepted and used, they become innovation. Science communication organisations need to be the leaders and dreamers of innovation.
