Subject: international school for scientific journalism and  
communication in Erice


Dear all,

the second edition of the International School for Scientific  
Journalism and Communication will take place in Erice, Sicily, from  
May 9 to May 13.

First of all directed to young journalists, the School is aimed in  
general to all those interested in communicating science to the  
public, such as youngresearchers. The goal is to introduce the main  
challenges of the field to a new generation of science communicators  
and scientists, encouraging them to develop new tools and strategies.
The School is based on lectures, working sessions and other  
activities, held by international experts in the fields of science,  
journalism and communication on general topics and on a specific  
scientific theme, to offer a focus to the discussion. Frontier Science  
for Health is the theme of the second course of the School in 2010,  
aiming at highlighting on one hand some new instruments and methods  
that fundamental science is making available for health sciences and,  
on the other hand, the most advanced tools to communicate this topic  
to the larger public.

Thank you for your attention and best wishes
