Our Beautiful Science project took a unique approach to the challenge of improving science communication.

We joined teams from eight other countries in South East Europe (SEE) and the UK to deliver an innovative science communication project between 2006 and 2008.  Beautiful Science has been developed through the combined efforts of colleagues in Azerbaijan, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, and our Science, Engineering and Technology team in the UK.

Beautiful Science focussed on two closely-related areas of activity – helping young scientists to develop the skills needed to communicate their work to a wide, non-professional audience, and demonstrating good practice in embedding science in popular culture through public events.

Beautiful Science events included

			FameLab Competition
			Science debates
			Visualise
