2015 Ecsite Conference

Overview

The 2015 Ecsite Conference took place at MUSE in Trento, Italy, on 11-13 June. It gathered 1,101 participants from 52 different countries, breaking an attendance record. This year the theme was "Food for curious minds", which offered room for countless interpretations. Moreover, the Conference offered food for thought about how to tackle the concrete issue of food and energy. To be able to serve audiences, science engagement professionals need to nurture their own curious minds first! The 2015 Conference was all about food - for both body and mind!
