Ecsite is the European network of science centres and museums with 400 institutional members. The common thread uniting these institutions is a commitment to public engagement, communicating science through accessible, interactive exhibits and programmes. Ecsite connects member institutions through projects and activities and facilitates the exchange of ideas and best practice on current issues. To this end, Ecsite organises a five day Annual Conference that welcomes 1000 professionals in science communication that includes an exhibitors’ area, offers different services to its members and is involved in numerous collaborative projects, many of the latter being co-financed by the European Commission. The function of Accounting and Administration Manager is a new position at Ecsite; until now, the accounting was performed externally.
