VOICES was publicly presented, for the first time, during the ECSITE Annual conference, that took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, on June 6-8 2013 with 1058 participants.The Conference is the most prominent meeting of science communication professionals in Europe.

Deadline got extended: apply by Sunday 23rd June.

This call aims to identify a maximum of 17 Ecsite members who will host and facilitate discussion games (PlayDecide) tailored at young people in September-October 2013 as part of the EU funded project INPORFOOD.

A maximum of 17 Ecsite members will be selected to run at least 4 discussion games in their science centres with young people as participants (aged 14-21).

The European Space Agency will support the Space Group to develop events, educational activities and exhibits for Science Centres and Museums related to the Rosetta mission. A “Rosetta kit” will enable the Ecsite members to take part in a campaign related to this most exciting on-going space mission, which will lead to a lander to be released onto a comet surface and retrieve crucial information on the origins of the solar system.

The first step will be to work with Science Centres and Museums in a collaborative way on the definition of these events, educational activities and exhibits.

To promote the sharing of ideas, experiences, contacts, etc. several Ecsite LinkedIn groups have been created:

Traveling exhibitions: A place to discuss anything related to traveling exhibitions touring science centres and museums in Europe.

Social media: A group to discuss social media use and impact among science centres and museums.

Scicom Dreams: museums and science centres of the future: A group to share our wildest dreams for sciences centres and museums

**These three groups are sub-groups of the general Science centres and museums in Europe.
