EUSEA is an organization dedicated to promoting and enhancing public engagement with science and technology across Europe and beyond.
We bring together science communicators, researchers, educators and individuals who share a passion for fostering dialogue and collaboration between scientists and the public, and give them a place to share ideas, and learn from one another.
At our 2026 gathering, we will challenge the assumptions that shape how we work, often without us noticing. These may relate to language, interpretation, geography, evidence, resources or cultural context. Such assumptions influence how we learn, improve and share practice. In Luxembourg, we will draw on our collective knowledge and varied experience to question current approaches, rethink how we frame engagement, and consider what needs to change.
By listening, reflecting and learning from one another, we can address barriers more effectively and strengthen connections with partners and audiences. This, in turn, supports a stronger and more coordinated European engagement community.
EUSEA brings together people who want to improve the relationship between research and society. If you work in public engagement, science communication, or use participatory or transdisciplinary approaches, this conference offers a valuable space to exchange ideas and practice.
Hosted by the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg National Research Fund, the conference will explore how Luxembourg’s unique position as a crossroads of cultures, languages and ideas can inspire new approaches to public engagement.
