Eusea

Eusea, the European Science Engagement Association, is an international community of public engagement professionals.

Eusea is an international knowledge-sharing platform and accelerator of innovation in the fields of public engagement. The association addresses experts involved in the design, organisation and implementation of public engagement activities across Europe. The formats are as diverse as the institutions behind them: All across Europe you will find Science Festivals, Researchers' Nights, Science Parl

iaments or Maker Faires, organized by universities, municipalities, science centers or cultural institutions. Many such events have evolved all over Europe: from Slovenia to Sweden, from Portugal to Poland, from Israel to Iceland - and more are on the way. Eusea initiates and supports many of these activites as a strong partner striving to develop science festivals and public engagement activities that make an impact across Europe.

25 Years of EUSEA – We Get Better and Stronger Together 💬

For 25 years, EUSEA has grown alongside the science communication and public engagement community, adapting, learning, and building connections across Europe.

In our latest birthday blog, our former EUSEA President, Cissi Billgren Askwall, reflects on how EUSEA has changed over the years, from its roots in science events to a wider focus on dialogue, participation, and meaningful engagement with society.

As science communication faces new challenges, from misinformation to growing public mistrust, the need for spaces where people can share ideas, learn from one another, and work together feels more important than ever.

After all, one thing has remained constant throughout EUSEA’s journey: we really are better and stronger together.

Stand by Me: Evolving Narratives During Construction of Large-Scale Research Facilities

Ana Godinho (European Spallation Source ERIC), William Garnier (SKA Observatory) & Sabina Griffiths (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor)

Communicating a science project that spans decades is no small feat. How do you sustain enthusiasm, manage expectations, and stay relevant when funding, leadership, and goals keep evolving?

This panel brings together ESS, SKAO, and ITER to share hard-won lessons: from 15 years of local partnerships, to 35+ years engaging Indigenous communities, to balancing public expectations across international funders.

Long-term science needs long-term storytelling.

Come find out how.

📊 Do public attitudes toward science actually matter, and how do we measure them?

Wissenschaft im Dialog invites you to join the next 'Science Barometer in Conversation' Lunchtalk on 13 May, where experts will explore why data on public attitudes toward science is collected - and what it can reveal.

From the Eurobarometer, which has gathered data across all EU member states since 1973, to Germany's own Science Barometer, representative surveys are shaping how we understand the relationship between science and society. The discussion will focus on how this data informs science communication in both research and practice.

Three distinguished guests will share their perspectives:
▪️ Joerg Weiss, Managing Director at con gressa & Eusea- European Science Engagement Association
▪️ Dr. Georgios Papanagnou, Policy Officer at DG Research and Innovation, European Commission
▪️ Dr. Melanie Smallman, Professor of Science & Technology Studies and Director of Science Communication, UCL Science and Technology Studies (STS)

Moderation: Dr. Liliann Fischer, Programme Manager Insights, Wissenschaft im Dialog.

Draw Them In: A Visual Approach to Target Audiences and Storytelling with Veronika Mischitz and Nicole Paschek

How can we better connect with audiences through visual storytelling? This interactive workshop invites participants to think differently about how stories are shaped, using character design and world-building grounded in audience insight.

Working in small groups, participants will analyse characters, consider audience perspectives, and create short comics on specific topics. Each story will be told through the eyes of a chosen character, offering a fresh way to approach communication challenges.

With a focus on collaboration and shared learning, the session encourages participants to try new approaches and learn from others across disciplines.

Please note that this workshop is limited to 24 participants, with places allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
