Programme details ready to be contaminated?

A colorful presentation of the context in which the 2009 Ecsite Annual Conference will be hosted, with a witty conclusion about the contamination between science and everyday life.

The 2009 Ecsite Annual Conference in Milan is coming soon. The Conference welcomes science communication professionals from across Europe and the world. Three full days of inspiring sessions, workshops and discussions in the fascinating frame of Milan, inside Italy''''s National Museum of Science and Technology.
The Museum is where a contamination between two opposite approaches to culture takes place.
Here we find the past and the future, a caring for preservation and a look towards innovation.
Visually this concept is represented ironically with a contrast between two opposite stereotypes: the ''''pleasant, slow and classical'''' Italy and the ''''rigorous, fast and trendy'''' Milan, where is located the Museum that will host the Conference.
