What is the future of science engagement? Will science centres stay relevant in engaging the public with science? Or should we focus on programmes and outreach activities? Will artificial intelligence take over from human educators or is virtual reality the future? Will all youngsters have a personal teacher/coach that prepares them for the future?

Join the discussion: what is your opinion about the future of science engagement? This session will use the so-called “House of Commons” debating style: each presenter defends a short statement on their vision for the future of science engagement. Then you, the audience, choose a side: do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why? All participants get the opportunity to share short reactions to the statements put forward by the presenters.
