What is the interface between science and society? This workshop explored, in a practical way, the common space of science and society. Participants explored several examples of public engagement with science, from video production to dialogue events. The workshop also provided some ideas on how science communication can become a creative industry. The participants were able to gain real experience in how to develop and implement science communication projects of different scales and approaches.
