Seminar on Public Engagement in Science and Technology 15th of January 2012 at Semiramis InterContinental, Cairo - Teeba Room from 12:00 h - 15:00 hAlong the activities of the EU-Egypt Year of Science and Innovation, ShERACA (FP7) project and the Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Programme have organized a seminar tackling Public Engagement in Science and Technology. The Seminar titled “ Public Engagement in Designing and Implementing Effective Science Policy “ held on 15th of January 2012 at Semiramis InterContinental, Cairo - Teeba Room from 12:00 h - 15:00 h aims at shedding light on the role of public engagement in implementing an effective Science Policy by demonstrating 3 different experiences:• The Science Communication activities of the RDI
Programme (Egypt)• The experience of the French Association ‘Les Petits
Debroiullards’ in communicating science to the public through science festivals & other activities (France)
• The role of public engagement in steering science policy by an eminent science journalist (Greece)
Egypt Minister of Scientific Research will address the opening speech at the seminar which will be attended by the EU Science Counselors to Egypt, Science Journalists, various representatives from public and private Universities and Research Centers in Egypt as well as representatives of NGOs that work in the field of Science Communication. The event is an excellent networking event and a good opportunity to exchange knowledge among participating experts from Egypt and EU in the field of Science in Society. Two EU experts in the field of Science in Society from France and Greece, have been invited by ShERACA project to participate in the event and meet Egyptian researchers in the field to study future cooperation within the framework of FP7 being Capacities (SiS), People programme and Cooperation (SSH).
