The Lisbon post-its: how science-in-society issues were reflected in the last ECSITE meetings

part of The role of science centres and museums in the dialogue between science and society

Paola Rodari , Matteo Merzagora

ECSITE is the European network of science centres and museums (www.ecsite.net). The ECSITE Annual Conference, attended every year by several hundreds of professionals in science museums and science centres (870 at the last edition), and the ECSITE director forum, where full members of the association discuss on focused topics, are excellent observation points. Looking at what goes on in these meetings allows to track what is high on the agenda of the science-centre community, how the focus of interest moves, what are the main concerns of museum professionals.
