CERN UN Roundtable

Tuesday 11 Mar 2014, 15:00 → 16:30 Europe/Zurich

60/6-015 - Room Georges Charpak (Room F) (CERN)

Antonella Del Rosso (CERN), Corinne Momal Vanian (UNOG), James Gillies (CERN)

In the spirit of strengthening links and sharing best practices among the two Organizations, UNOG and CERN will be jointly organizing a round table discussion on the issue of “The challenge of communicating science and technology to the world: issues and solutions”.

It is hoped that the discussions can highlight the experience of various organizations and institutions in their efforts to communicate and inform in several languages on topics – science and technology – that are often perceived as distant and arduous by the layman.
