Science Journalism in the Digital Age (SciCon 2.0)

Working Conference

The online lecture series Science Journalism in the Digital Age (SciCon2.0) (www.science-journalism.eu) brings together leading experts and practitioners from all over the world to share and discuss their knowledge on how to manage structural change in journalism. SciCon aims to use this wealth of international experience to develop ideas for future-proofing and promoting (science) journalism in Germany.

The SciCon closing event scheduled for 8-10 November 2023 is designed to be a working conference involving a maximum of 80 distinguished international participants. In a conversation with experts from science, journalism, civil society, business and politics, the aim of the conference is to explore concrete steps for action in Germany based on the evidence and best practice examples gathered during the SciCon lecture series. The conference therefore seeks to bring together the various sectors that could initiate and implement such steps. At the same time, we want to enhance this debate with the best possible international expertise on successfully structuring the transformation process in (science) journalism. Many specialists who have taken part in the online lecture series will therefore be present in Berlin (Knowledge Reservoir – EU-SciCon 2020 (science-journalism.eu).
