The South West is a hub for science communication, with a wide range of organisations contributing to the sector.

At this second SciComm South West conference, we will offer an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of this expertise and reflect on the challenges we face. We will also celebrate the 20th Anniversary of our MSc Science Communication programme at UWE Bristol.

The conference will focus on how we, as a collective, foster a brighter future for the research and practice of science communication… and for society? And how does our regional hub fit within the global picture of science communication, and local, on-the-ground action?

The event will run from 10:00 to 16:30 (09:00 registration) and will include lots of opportunities to network and problem solve, with optional celebratory activities in the evening. The conference will be held in-person on UWE Bristol's Frenchay Campus.

Please note that we are unable to offer on-site accommodation for this event.

We encourage active and sustainable travel. Please walk, cycle or use public transport if possible, or car share with friends and colleagues. Limited car parking spaces will be available on request.
