EuroScience Open Forum 2004

Highlighting Science, Technology & Innovation in Europe

The science & technology field is increasingly important and it interests, concerns and affects people. It is not always well understood or perceived in the media or by the public. Since it is to a large extent funded by the public a better communication with society is necessary.

EuroScience Open Forum 2004 will be open to scientists from all fields, the public, policy makers, politicians, media, industry, teachers and students.

Main aims
The main aim is to bring people interested in science & technology from all over Europe to ONE meeting. In such a meeting the following can take place:
- cross-disciplinary interaction
- communication between the public, politicians, policy makers and the media on current trends and future roads for the sciences
- a broad dialogue on and about science
- popular science presentations of front-line research

Further aims are
- offer a platform for European dialogue
- facilitate the formation and further development of a European research area
- enhance the European public´s awareness of and interest in science and technology
- enhance scientists' awareness of the public's righteous role

Fees
The levels of the fees for the event has now been set to the following levels in EURO (values in parenthesis are for one day tickets):

The fees above are for all four days of ESOF2004.

If you are not already a member of the EuroScience organisation, you can become one at their website: www.euroscience.org. The issue concerning reduced fees for participants organising or taking part in a session at the Open Forum, is now being discussed.

The Open Forum will be in a major European "City of Science" every other year.
