MSCA at the 2025 Annual Conference of the European Science Engagement Association
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) will host a session on “Science communication across countries – jumping over language barriers” for participants at the Annual Conference of the European Science Engagement Association (EUSEA).
How do you communicate science when your audience doesn’t speak your language?
And what if you had to do it again - and again - with a different twist each time?
Join the MSCA session at the 2025 EUSEA Annual Conference for an energising and interactive workshop that explores how to overcome linguistic and cultural hurdles in science communication.
In this unique session, participants will experience a single scientific presentation repeated in multiple forms - each one carefully adapted to lower language barriers using creative and engaging techniques.
Get ready to discover what we can learn from spiders thanks to Gabriele Greco; blast off into space on rockets with Christopher Glaser; or see how small cable bacteria produce electricity in the depths of the ocean with Jamie Lustermans.
But this isn’t just a show. It is the start of a much-needed conversation!
How can we respect each other’s cultural and linguistic backgrounds in science outreach?
And how can they make us stronger, smarter and more creative?
Let’s take a look at our small but buzzing continent.
Together, we’ll identify best practices, exchange ideas, and reflect on how embracing cultural and linguistic diversity can make research communication more inclusive, accessible, and powerful.
Whether you're a scientist, communicator or science enthusiast, this workshop offers practical insights into breaking down barriers and building bridges - one word, gesture, and idea at a time.
Are you passionate about science outreach and would like to organise your own outreach event one day?
Then make sure to attend the MSCA’s horizontal talk during the EUSEA conference, which will present the next MSCA & Citizens call.
With a new call opening on 17 June, this is a key opportunity to attract excellent proposals from across Europe to organise the European Researchers’ Night and the Researchers at Schools initiative. The session will also explore strategies for local science communication, particularly in reaching audiences beyond major cities.
