I am delighted to share the resounding success of the Ecsite 2024 Conference, held from 5 to 8 June in the vibrant city of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
One of YIPP’s most notable recent projects began at Ecsite 2022 in Heilbronn. Fresh from their success with the Partnerzone in Technopolis, YIPP caught the attention of Maribel Ibarra and her team from Siete Colores, who were embarking on an ambitious renewal of the Trompo Mágico science center in Guadalajara, Mexico. This collaboration blossomed into the creation of four immersive spaces, culminating in the grand reopening of the museum under its new name, JAPI, on June 16, 2024.
Escite welcomed 15 Ukrainian science communicators to the 2024 Ecsite Conference, read about their experiences here.
We are pleased to open the call for a new ACPC Chairperson to advise on the content of the Ecsite Conference programme.
