Dear colleagues,
We would hereby like to draw your attention to the "Communication and Education in Geoscience: Practice, Research and Reflection" session at the 2016 European Geosciences Union General Assembly. For a detailed session description
please see below. If you work in the field of the geosciences
then this session presents a great opportunity to present some of the
science communication work and activities that you have been carrying
out.
Please submit your contributions via the meeting website (http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20170) by Wednesday, 13 January.
As this is an EOS session you are allowed as first author to submit one more abstract with an oral preference (three in
total).
If you have any questions, please get in touch and looking forward to seeing you there!

Session description:
Do
you consider yourself a science communicator? Does your research group
or institution participate in public engagement activities? Have you
ever evaluated or published your education
and outreach efforts?
Scientists
communicate to non-peer audiences through numerous pathways including
websites, blogs, public lectures, media interviews, and educational
collaborations. A considerable amount
of time and money is invested in this public engagement and these
efforts are to a large extent responsible for the public perception of
science. However, few incentives exist for researchers to optimize their
communication practices to ensure effective outreach.
This session encourages critical reflection on science communication
practices and provides an opportunity for science communicators to share
best practice and experiences with evaluation and research in this
field.
