The European Union media chanel, EU Science& Innovation, released on 8 February a series of presentations about science communication.

The video series aims to advocate that communicating with society about science and its benefits is more important than ever: "This is why projects funded under Horizon 2020, the current EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, are asked to engage in communicating science to audiences beyond just their peers."

The presentations have been released as part of the ESOF (EuroScience Open Forum). Created in 2004 by EuroScience, the biennial European forum brings together over 4 000 researchers, educators, business actors, policy makers and journalists from all over the world to discuss breakthroughs in science. It is the largest interdisciplinary science meeting in Europe dedicated to scientific research and innovation, offering a unique framework for interaction and debate for scientists, innovators, policy makers, business people and the general public.
