The Working Lunches aim to focus on practical issues affecting science communicators today.  The lunches will provide opportunities for professional science communicators from a range of disciplines to enhance their skills in and knowledge of current developments in public engagement, particularly dialogue, by sharing good practice, introducing new developments and networking.

Four Working Lunches are being held at the BA Festival of Science in Norwich.  Specifically, these will share learning and skills gained from the Delivering Inclusion in Science Communication project, as well as hearing about the new Science Horizons project and the Community x-change.  Further information is available here.  Bookings can be made here.
