Overview |
The 2016 Ecsite Conference took place in Graz, Austria. It was the first Ecsite conference to be co-organised by a trio of hosts and it welcomed 1,081 participants from 53 different countries. The three hosts were: the FRida & freD Children’s Museum, the Universalmuseum Joanneum and the association Science Centre-Network. The hosts put together a special programme, "Colours of Cooperation", to highlight that cooperation is at the heart of our work as science communicators. While cooperation is time-consuming and can take labourious effort, produce benefits that an individual could not have reached. Moreover, it may lead to unexpected results and learning experiences. At the 2016 Conference was used to cooperatively work on challenges and common goals while enriching our own individual palette. See the 2016 Conference pictures here. |
