oude tekst Meijers Communication

Meijers Communication started in 1993 as The European Science Communication and Information Network (ESCIN) to improve the appreciation and understanding of basic and applied scientific research among Europe’s citizens and opinion-formers. From 1993 on ESCIN brought together the heads of communication from most of Europe’s major research councils, institutes and associations.
In 2009 Meijers Communication continued the work of ESCIN and supports initiatives in the field of science communication aimed at the general public and specific target groups with advice, concept development and supervision of projects. Meijers Communications is committed to a constructive dialogue on science and technology-related issues; a practical approach and editorial independence.
