Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) 2025 Conference Theme

The theme for the 2025 Conference is ‘Science communication for positive change: exploring transitions, traditions, and tensions.’ In our work as science communicators, we are influenced by transitions, traditions, and tensions.

In 2025, the PCST Conference will bring us together to discuss how science communication can make a positive impact in our evolving world, particularly in the face of challenges like the climate crisis, global health concerns, and poverty.

See the University of Aberdeen’s website for more information on the call, guidelines for authors, PCST presentation formats and proposal writing tips.

This is an international conference and the first time it has been held in the UK. You can find out more about PCST on their website.
