<br>
<br>
*Venue: European Southern Observatory, Garching near Munich, Germany<br>
<br>
*Date & Time:*<br>
18th June 2015: 14.00 - 18.30h<br>
19th June 2015: 9.00 - 14.00h<br>
<br>
*Scope of the workshop*<br>
A common task of large scale, European Research Infrastructures is
to disseminate their achievements and capabilities to funding bodies
as well as to the general public. Similar expectations on Public
Relations (PR) concern large public funded projects like Integrated
Infrastructure Initiatives (EU) or other big consortia (national
projects). The aim of this workshop is to bring together
representatives from funding agencies with facility and project
managers to discuss the needs and expectations of dissemination
activities. It should act as a forum for information officers to
share experience of their work.<br>
<br>
*Topics:*<br>
• What do science organisations expect from PR?<br>
• How is PR organised at large scale Research Infrastructures?<br>
<br>
*Sessions:*<br>
• Communicating the socio-economic return of large scale facilities<br>
• Using social media for science communication<br>
• Communication to target groups<br>
• Addressing the media and journalists<br>
• PR of a facility under construction<br>
• Public engagement with large scale facilities<br>
• Risk communication<br>
• PR of European projects<br>
<br>
We encourage you to submit an abstract to share your work experience
in the parallel sessions.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
The organising committee<br>
