The 2015 Ecsite Annual Conference will be taking place on 11-13 June at MUSE in Trento, Italy. Each month, we’ll be giving you a glimpse of preparation work going on behind-the-scenes and interviewing a different person involved in cooking up the largest science engagement professional event in Europe. A good opportunity for them to tell us more about their role, their take on the “Food for curious minds” conference theme and their favourite recipe. This month, we’re interviewing Mikko Myllykoski, Experience Director at Heureka (The Finnish Science Centre, Vantaa) and Chair of the ACPC (Annual Conference Programme Committee).

Last summer the European Commission launched a consultation to inform the 2016-2017 “Science with and for Society” Programme (part of the Horizon 2020 funding framework). You will remember that Ecsite called for contributions from science engagement organizations – the resulting statements were submitted about two weeks ago. We are now waiting to hear from the Commission when results will be made public.
