Getting global coverage for science

An event for communications officers and journalists at the World Conference of Science Journalists (WCSJ2009: London)

Universities and other scientific institutions are increasingly seeking to communicate with globally dispersed audiences, either because student recruitment has become a global market or because their science impacts on other world regions (such as developing countries). This event will seek to explore how the relationship between press officers and more dispersed journalistic audiences can be made more effective, with talks, discussion and networking sessions.

This event is run by Stempra and takes place as part of the 6th World Conference of Science Journalists. For more information about the conference programme or to register your details, visit www.wcsj2009.org
