STEAM Summer School

The Summer School provides training in science communication for university students, researchers and educators. It innovatively marries science and art in science communication practice.

Our second International Summer School in Science Communication (3-12 July 2017) will take place in Marathon / Greece, at Golden Coast Hotel. For Rhine-Waal students who successfully apply, Erasmus+ will cover the costs for flights, accommodation, and fees. We are expecting about 80 participants from all over the world, ca. 10 of which will be invited from HSRW.

The programme covers the main aspects of science communication including journalism, social media, policy, management and also artistic approaches such as science theatre and science comedy. The workshop will be a fully immersive experience on theory and practice, and no previous experience is required.



We aim to train science communication ambassadors eager to engage with various sectors of the public back in their home countries. We wish to improve science awareness and foster informed decisions, increase student uptake of STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), stimulate the socio­economic wellbeing of partner countries, and enhance the transferable skills of current researchers.

The deadline for applying is 7th April 12:00 lunchtime. The applications will be reviewed by a jury composed of the seven project partners. 

Here you can apply directly.



Additionally, please feel free to share this information with friends and colleagues, since the Summer School is obviously also open to paying participants (550 Euros for the ten days).
