About

Co-organised by Ecsite and its sister science engagement networks: ASPAC, ASTC, NAMES, RedPOP and SAASTEC, and hosted by Ecsite member Heureka, the 2023 International Directors Forum (IDF) aims to be a catalyst for change and to put the importance of science engagement organisations at the forefront of discussions around the world.

The IDF2023 is a unique opportunity to network and build relationships in a small group of 200 participants. Senior leaders from all six regional networks will share their expertise and debate the field's response to contemporary challenges such as the climate and biodiversity crisis; misinformation; and critical thinking.

"We are very proud to host this first-of-a-kind International Directors Forum at Heureka which will stimulate discussion and the sharing of knowledge between senior leaders, with a balance between practical and strategic topics", said Mikko Myllykoski, CEO of Heureka.
