NAMES 2024 Conference, 7-9 May
Konya Science Center, Konya, Türkiye.
The overarching theme was Forward Together (معًا إلى الأمام); a call to gather as a community and discuss ways to maintain relevancy and deal with the challenges facing science engagement within our institutions, considering recent and ongoing global changes.
NAMES 2024 seeked answers to essential questions: How can we design for effective science engagement as we are reacting to up to date needs of both users and science communicators? What impacts have recent challenges had on our sector? How have visitors' needs, expectations, and experiences changed? How can we leverage data analysis effectively? What influence will trending topics like Global Warming have on science engagement and our institutions? What will be the implications of big data and artificial intelligence in this context?
