News archive - Calls for the Scientific Session proposals at ESOF 2014
Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) is a biennial conference for debating science and a showcase for European and global research at all levels. The call for proposals for the scientific sessions to be organised is open until May 9, 2013.
ESOF conference was first held in 2004 in Stockholm and has since then been held in Munich in 2006, Barcelona in 2008, Torino in 2010, Dublin in 2012 and will be held in Copenhagen in 2014.
ESOF 2014 will be a unique opportunity for leading scientists, young researchers, students, entrepreneurs, policymakers, journalists and the general public to discuss new discoveries and debate the direction that research is taking in all the sciences. The objective is to raise awareness of science in the public and to strengthen the effective “bridges” between science and society that is synonymous with Euroscience. This is why the conference is titled the 2014 meeting “Science Building Bridges”.
The conference programme will be truly cross-cutting and multidisciplinary. And the programme is accompanied by an ambitious outreach programme, including a special section for children and the younger generation – the ESOF Academy.
