Get your thinking caps on!

The Program Committee for the Australian Science Communicators Ninth National Conference, ASC2017, invites our talented community of science communication practitioners, researchers and facilitators to prepare to submit expressions of interest to participate in the upcoming conference.

For the first time we are offering a digital program as well as the 2 day on site program so that members who cannot travel to attend the conference in person will still have an opportunity to participate in ASC2017 via online webinars and be included in the program and online if selected. We hope this means we will see more from our collaborators from SCANZ and elsewhere!

Note that sessions accepted for the digital/online program stream will be scheduled at times separate to the onsite program and both schedules (onsite and online) will be made available after the program committee has reviewed submissions. This is a first for the national conference so please don’t hesitate to ask questions if something is not yet clear.

When submitting your expression of interest to program.committee@asc.asn.au please let us know if you are NOT planning on attending the conference in person so that we consider your work for the digital conference stream only.

Types of submissions we will accept for ASC2017 include:

  • Research papers: submit your title, abstract, bio and photo by 1st December 2016 to conference.submissions@asc.asn.au.*
  • Case studies/general presentations: submit your talk title, abstract, bio and photo by 6th November 2016.
  • Posters: submit your poster title, abstract, bio and photo by 6th November 2016.
  • Science Art: submit your abstract, bio and photo by 6th November 2016. See note below.#
  • Professional Development workshops: submit your workshop abstract and proposal, bio and photo by 6th November 2016.
  • Sessions: submit your session title, abstract and proposal, bio and photo by 6th November 2016. Include speaker bios and photos if relevant.

Include an answer to the following question with your submission:

How does your work/project/proposal contribute to Seeing Science Differently?

Please send your answer to the question above, along with your abstract and/or proposal, bio and photo to program.committee@asc.asn.au by end Sunday 6th November 2016 for consideration in the ONSITE program in Adelaide. We are accepting submissions for the ONLINE (digital) program until sometime in December so if keen to participate please send yours in.

Remember to let us know if you are *not* planning on attending the conference in person so that we consider your proposal for the digital conference stream only.

*If you are considering submitting an academic paper for peer review and have not yet seen the call for papers see here. Deadline for research abstract submission is Thursday, December 1st 2016 and these are submitted to conference.submissions@asc.asn.au.

 

The conference is being held over two full days at The Science Exchange in Adelaide, Thursday 23 and Friday 24 February 2017, with an evening networking event on the Thursday and optional happy hour networking after the conference wrap-up on Friday.

 

Similar to previous conferences we are keen to include a mix of science communication research and theory as well as case studies and real life stories from practitioners.

 

The theme for ASC2017 is “Seeing Science Differently” and we will be particularly interested in session proposals, papers, case studies and posters that speak to this theme. Have a think about how your work or project contributes to the world seeing science differently. Your submission will include a few words about how your proposal fits with the theme as outlined above.

 

Space has been included in the draft schedule for research, poster and case study presentations as well as professional development workshops and plenary sessions. We also have a dedicated area for trade exhibitors and poster displays.

 

As always this schedule is subject to change depending on the mix of submissions received across the various categories.
Please note that if the program committee is faced with difficult decisions when selecting proposals for the program, preference will be given to current financial members of the ASC whose annual membership fees make the national conferences possible. To check the status of your membership, update contact details, renew, or join for the first time, see here. Contact office [at] asc.asn.au if you require assistance with membership.

#Science Art Exhibitors The FutureSpace Gallery at the venue will be hosting an exhibition of astrophotography images at the time of the conference so there is no dedicated space on site for a science art exhibition this year. However, we’d be delighted to incorporate a digital gallery on the conference website and run a projection of science art images and video during the conference. If you are a science art practitioner keen to include your work in the conference program (whether or not you can attend the event in person), please submit your interest in participating in the science art gallery by the 6th November 2016 as outlined above. If there is interest we will invite selected exhibitors to participate in one or more science art webinars depending on the mix of submissions received.
