Discover yesterday’s Storify summary (see pdf files attached), looking back on the second of three main conference days.

Alice Roberts, Anthropologist, author and broadcaster, and Professor of Public Engagement in Science at the University of Birmingham delivered a keynote speech at 10.30. For the rest of the day, participants were able to pick and choose between ten parallel session strands. Topics included science engagement in the post-truth era, designing for all, augmented reality games, guerrilla marketing and many more.

The Ecsite Annual General Meeting also took place and saw (among others) the election of a new President: Herbert Münder, General Manager at Universum, Bremen, Germany.

Participants enjoyed a lively Business Bistro Happy Hour, sampling through specialties brought by the trade fair’s exhibitors before gathering at the Hall of Biodiversity, one of the venues of the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto (MHNC-UP), for the Nocturne. They enjoyed a rich programme of shows, demonstrations and music at the Hall of Biodiversity and in the adjoining Botanical garden.
