ECSITE Annual Conference at the Museum
Milan, 4-6 June 2009: Annual Conference ECSITE – European Network of Science Centres and Museums
In 2009 the Museum will host the Ecsite Annual Conference for its 20th anniversary. The organisation - born in 1989 - draws together approximately 400 science centres and museums from 30 different countries.
The overall objective of this network is to promote the dissemination of scientific and technological culture, encouraging the relation between science and society, and the coordination and promotion of activities developed by science centres and museums. Every year, the science centres and museums that are members of Ecsite attract over 30 million visitors in their spaces, reaching many more through their websites. More than 60% of visitors are under 25 and almost 40% are students.
The Annual Conference is now one of the most important events for museum professionals. On this occasion curators, educators, researchers, communicators, etc. can meet and discuss aspects of the museum life and mission. It is an important moment also for many companies involved in the world of science and technology. Professionals have the chance to present their work and their institution, discussing innovative aspects of museology and science communication.
In 2009, Ecsite will celebrate its 20th anniversary, defining its guidelines for the future. The Museum expects about 1000 professional delegates.
On this occasion the Museum will present the results of its new museological project. The Annual Conference will also be a significant moment for the city of Milan, which will show its personality and its technological and industrial tradition, and for its museums, which will be involved in the museological and scientific international debate.
