AAAS to have high profile at the EuroScience Open Forum 25-28 August in Stockholm

For years, Gabriella Norlin was among a contingent of European scientists and educators who attended AAAS's annual meeting. Amazed by the mix of cutting-edge science and public interaction, they would return home talking about the need for something similar in Europe. This month, it will finally happen-and organizers hope that EuroScience Open Forum 2004 will be only the first of many.

From 25-28 August, an estimated 3,000 scientists, science enthusiasts, educators and students will gather in Stockholm, Sweden, for an unprecedented interdisciplinary, pan-European, public scientific meeting. The forum is expected to feature 270 top scientists and science experts from 33 countries—including a contingent from AAAS—participating in 100 speeches, symposia and workshops.

According to officials on both sides of the Atlantic, the conference will represent the latest milestone in the long, historic collaboration of science cultures in Europe and North America.
