Main Challenges • Respect to diversity and cultural differences, without the loss of scientific rigor • Inclusion, equity and tolerance • Knowledge based society • Rational thinking • To put together global knowledge and local reality: glocalapproach • Strategic parternships: Collaborative networks • New attitudes
¿Theoretical frame of reference? • Science communication as a multidisciplinary field of study • Research on science communication in different media (including science centers) • Research on education in science centers

Science communication models • Model of diffusion • Model of deliberation • Model of negotiation • Communicating science in social contexts: new models, new practices, Cheng, Claessens, Gascoigne, Metcalfe, Schiele, Shi, editors, Springer (2008) • PCSTnetwork proceedings
Model of diffusion (deficit) • From science towards the public • The public does not understand scientists • The public does not listen to science or perhaps…¿ science does not listen to the public? • Extreme “global” attitude
Model of deliberation • From the public towards science • Deliberative dialogue • Democratic control over science • The public consensus is the basis for legitimate knowledge creation • Extreme “local” attitude
Model of negotiation • Constant negotiation over the development of technology and the definitions of science and public • To democratize science through heterogeneity and controversies • To reach a provisional closure of credibility, perhaps opening new controversies • “Glocal” attitude
