The Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo will host the PCST Japan Symposium 2025, to be held from 11-13 November 2025. This joint international symposium marks the first time the Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) Network brings a symposium to Japan, and the seventh conference of the Japan SciCom Forum (JSF).
The symposium will bring together researchers, practitioners, educators, and policymakers from across Asia and beyond to explore the strategic development of science communication in non-Western contexts. It is organised around two central questions that guide its themes: how can we establish formal and informal education and training programmes in Asia to professionalise science communication and how can we bridge the gap between science communication research and practice to engage with diverse audiences.
