Science Communication Events
In an effort to foster the Israeli science communication community, our group has co-organized a series of events, including conferences, public lectures, and round table discussions. These events bring together science communicators, scientists, media researchers, journalists, editors, spokespeople, formal and informal science educators, and others who care about science communication.

Additional Science Communication Activities
In addition to organizing the conferences, our group has taught “Science Communication” and “Science Communication Practicum” classes to hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students. We have also taken part in organizing FameLab science communication contests and the European Researcher’s night initiatives (see pictures from Researchers’ Night 2009).
