On 4-8 April, the 15th Public Communication of Science and Technology conference (PCST 2018) will take place in Dunedin, New Zealand. PCST conferences, which are held every two years, bring together practitioners, educators and researchers in the field of science communication from more than 50 countries in all continents. The theme of this edition is “Science, Stories and Society”.

The SMART-map project participates by providing a short video about the methodology used for the Industrial Dialogues. The methodology’s main strength lies in its creative and constructive hands-on approach. It enables an eye level dialogue and fosters thinking out of the box. Participants were provided with different kinds of materials to be used to design and develop tools which were tested and piloted afterwards.
