 he evening or taking medicine against a cold\, we rely on scientific disco
 veries and research for centuries. Despite its prevalence in daily life\, 
 scientific research sometimes seems quite distinct from the public\, nouri
 shing the gap between science and society. However new discoveries and mor
 e research is dependent on the broader societal acceptance of public fundi
 ng of science\, reliant on the effective communication\, broadcasting and 
 public engagement. The aim of this event is to discuss different initiativ
 es and approaches aimed at bridging the gap between science and society.\n
