EuroScience Open Forum 2004
The Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF2004) is a groundbreaking initiative. It is the first pan-European scientific meeting ever staged to
provide an interdisciplinary forum for open dialogue, debate and discussion on science and technology in society. ESOF2004 will be
held at Stockholm City Conference Centre in Stockholm, Sweden, 25-28 August 2004.
Its objective is to bring scientists from all fields, and people interested in science and technology, from all over Europe to one
meeting. The participants will be academics, policy makers, politicians and representatives from media and the science based
industries.
This project, initiated by Euroscience, involves many important European organisations.
ESOF2004 - Highlighting Science, Technology & Innovation in Europe
The science & technology field is increasingly important and it interests, concerns and affects people. It is not always well
understood or perceived in the media or by the public. Since it is, to a large extent, funded by the public better communication
with society is necessary.
EuroScience Open Forum 2004 (ESOF2004) will be open to scientists from all fields, the public, policy makers, politicians, media,
industry, teachers and students.
Main aims
The main aim is to bring people interested in science & technology from all over Europe to ONE meeting and to respond to the
challenges and begin to provide solutions to the major problems the world faces today. Other aims at ESOF2004 are to:
- present science and the humanities at the cutting-edge
- stimulate scientific awareness
- foster debate on science and society
- offer cross-disciplinary interaction and communication between the public, politicians, policy makers and the media on current
trends and future roads for the sciences
