Open Doors for Global Sustainable Activities: Collaboration Between Industry and Science Centres

Thursday 16 Nov 2017
14:40-15:55
7F Miraikan Hall

Session Concept:
This session will explore the relationship between industry, and science centres in order to develop and perform effective science communication activities in support of the SDGs. Science centres and global companies can share the vision and the mission towards Sustainable Development Goals.
Therefore, in recent years, science centres, science museums and industrial partners cooperated intensely resulting in various science communication projects linked with sustainable development.Industry has also effectively delivered their own messages on sustainability by utilising the know-how of science centres.
In this session, we will look at the advantages and challenges in order to enhance the collaboration between industry and science centres. This session will address these questions: 1) What are the advantages in collaborating with industry, or with a science centre? 2) Why are partnerships between industry and science centres important? 3) What are future possibilities of collaboration with both sectors for sustainable development? 4) Which objectives can science centres & science museums and industry share?
