Abstract

This essay describes the German initiative Science in Dialogue and its projects in the field of (1) informal science education at the interface of universities and schools, (2) science in fiction to reach a wider audience, and (3) public engagement in scientific issues. Listening to the real needs and concerns of the public is a prerequisite for this engagement. Due to the great variety of cultures and languages, a European approach to science communication is a real challenge the recently founded grassroots organization Euro Science has accepted. This essay describes the goals of the first Euro Science Open Forum to be held in Stockholm in August 2004.
