The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) in cooperation with the High North Academy (HNA) at the UiT The Arctic Universtiy of Norway are organizing a panel discussion on science communication as part of the Arctic Frontiers 2016 conference on Wednesday 27 January 2016 from 13:00 - 14:00 in room TEO 1.425. Four experts will join us to discuss the importance of science communication especially to non-scientific audiences, what tools can be used (e.g. social media, blogs, websites, reports) and what type of activities can be organized (e.g. public lectures, media interviews, educational activities with schools). The panelists will share some of their experiences as well as provide advice for effective science communication. Our panelists are:
- Lawrence Hislop - Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Project of the World Climate Research Programme
- Magnus Svendsen Nerheim - University of Bergen
- Alexey Pavlov - Norwegian Polar Institute
- Sara Aparicio - APECS Portugal
The panel discussion is open to all participants from Arctic Frontiers 2016.
