Invitation to participate in a workshop on Science Communication for Sustainable Development 29 September to 3 October, 2002 Entebbe, Uganda SciDev.Net is holding a four-day workshop in Entebbe, Uganda on Science Communication for Sustainable Development. It will bring together a group of scientists, public relations officers, print and radio/TV journalists along with professionals from academies of science, government departments, science and technology policy institutions and non-governmental organisations. Participants will be mostly from the eastern African region and will explore how capacity for science communication can be enhanced in the region. The workshop will combine presentations from invited speakers (from Africa, Europe and North America) with a series of practical learning exercises and structured discussion groups aimed at sharing and strengthening science communication practices and helping to identify key resource and training needs. SciDev.Net is organising and running the workshop with the support of the African Academy of Sciences (AAS), the Ugandan National Academy of Sciences (UNAS), the Ugandan National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST), and the InterAcademy Panel (IAP). If you would like to attend the workshop, further details and an application form can be obtained from <www.scidev.net/entebbe/invite.html>. Participation in the meeting is free, although participants will be expected to cover their travel and accommodation costs. A limited amount of funding is available to cover the costs of some African participants. ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, an NGO that is a GKP member*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
