The conference Science Communication 360° is organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University; the Czech Academy of Sciences; and the SciComHub association.

New formats and international reach

After a successful pilot edition, participants could look forward to several new features. What theme did last year’s conference adopt? And how did the afternoon programme differ?

Science Communication 360° First Edition

The first edition of the Science Communication 360° conference drew a high turnout of people who connect the world of science and the public. Read more about how it went.

Inspirational keynotes from Czechia and abroad

The morning program is traditionally dedicated to keynote lectures by leading figures in science communication. Previous speakers have included Iain Stewart, a documentary filmmaker known for his work with the BBC; Christina Beck from the Max Planck Society; and guests from the Czech Academy of Sciences, including philosopher Tomáš Koblížek and sociologist Paulína Tabery.

Sharing experience across the community

The afternoon program is dedicated to discussion forums focused on participation and sharing experience. Moving away from the practical training sessions of previous years, we have adopted a format that makes full use of the expertise brought together at the conference. The time is devoted to exchanging know-how and exploring responses to current challenges in science communication.

Previous Editions

Take a look back at previous editions of the conference, including their key themes, speakers and programmes. Science Communication 360° was first held in 2025, bringing together the Czech science communication community under the motto “Let’s communicate science together – openly and clearly”. The second edition, held at the Jinonice Campus, focused on the institutions and systems that help strengthen science communication.
