3rd Comunicating Science in a Changing World ☰

Presentation

The 3rd conference Communicating Science in a Changing World is set up to the 18th and 19th of October, 2018 at UBI, Portugal. Directed to researchers, scientists, journalists, students and librarians, this conference gathers experts from Sciences and Humanities to reflect on the sense and status of Science Communication in a Global and changing environment. Communicating ongoing research, and research results, is a rich and multi-layered activity covering several areas not commonly associated with,
namely
• Research ethics
• Publication integrity
• Public knowledge of science
• Fake news
• Media literacy
• Research and Higher Education policies
• R&D evaluation and funding
• Political and economical agendas
• Epistemological worldviews
• Science policies
• Public and political deliberation

Echoing these thematic lines, this year’s conference will develop along four main symposia: Academic Publication, Slow Science, Science in the Media, and Women in Science. This division covers science communication among peers; epistemological reflection on the scope and meaning of current trends in science and science policies; public communication of science; and the actual, perceived and future role of women in the collective undertake science is.

Accomodation & Travel Information

If you're arriving to Portugal through Lisbon, you'll have bus and train transportation. It's a 3:30 to 4 hour travel. These are the links to the websites, so you can check timetables:
Train (portuguese word: comboio): http://cp.pt/passageiros/en/ Bus (portuguese word: expresso or autocarro): www.rede-expressos.pt/en/

In case you'll be arriving through Oporto, bus will be your only option. The distance to Covilhã is fairly the same.

There's also the possibility of renting a car at the airport, in case you prefer and find it more convenient. From Lisbon, the access to Covilhã is made through A1 and A23 freeways; from Oporto, through A1, A25 and A23.

Covilhã has some very affordable options to stay in. It's a small and safe town, and the University is at a walking distance of most of the hotels. Below there's a list of some of the options, all of them central and at an easy distance from the conference:
Hotel Covilhã Jardim
Hotel Santa Eufémia
Hotel Solneve
Casa com História - Bed & Breakfast
Passo 100 Pressa - Bed & Breakfast
Residencial Panorama
Hotel Meliá D. Maria
Pura Lã Hotel

These last two (Meliá D. Maria and Pura Lã) are not as near, so you would probably need to call for a taxi. All the others are at a walking distance of 10 to 15 minutes from the University.
