Beautiful Science is a new and exciting British Council initiative linking science, education and the arts which ultimately seeks to inspire young people to consider a career in science, and encourage young scientists to communicate with the wider public in an open, comprehensive, inspired and interactive way.

Beautiful Science is a regional project which will be implemented between 2007-2009 in 9 countries in South East Europe: Austria, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and the UK.

A programme of activities has been designed to share best practice in science communication, develop partnerships between UK and regional science communicators, and encourage professional development by engaging UK creativity.

The project has three different components, with closely-related activities.

Do you have a science degree? Are you passionate about science? Can you make a three-minute presentation on a scientific topic? If so, why not take part in a national science communication competition?

Visualise is a touring science and theatre show developed by Science Made Simple, a UK science communication company. The company toured Israel late 2007.
