问与答：世界科学新闻学会“达到新高度”

为了确保这一全球科学新闻事件的成功做出了什么？

Firstly, and most importantly, we have secured the presence of a tremendous number of high-quality speakers, from different walks of life relevant to the work of any journalist covering science.

我们的演讲者涵盖了新闻和编辑，科学技术，科学与伦理社会学，科学政策与科学民主的社会学以及媒体工具和技术。

All of our speakers will make WCSJ2019 an indispensable event, full of discussions, debates and workshops. I want to stress that this is a conference for all journalists, from pure science journalists to generalists for whom science and technology increasingly impinge on their beat.

Secondly, we have raised funds to offer about 110 travel fellowships to colleagues from 55 countries around the world. We have also managed to bring a lot of geographical diversity to our list of speakers. This will ensure that WCSJ2019 is a truly global conference.

“There will also be new and talented young speakers, bringing fresh dynamics to the nowadays complex world of journalism.”

WCSJ2019的组织委员会Olivier Dessibourg

是什么让这次会议比以前的事件具有优势？

Each World Conference of Science Journalists is unique and has its own specificities so it may be unfair to compare them. What I can say is why WCSJ2019 will be great. *Apart from the excellent programme itself, we have worked with the region, in Switzerland, which is rich in science, to build a strong scientific programme enriched by over 30 field trips. *Also, we have more than 50[email protected]在Ecole PolytechniquefédéraledeLausanne和Lausanne University校园中发现科学的惊人广度和深度的机会，并与科学家见面并讨论他们的最新实验或即将发表的论文。这些超越了以前会议的科学作品，我们希望它将吸引许多新闻工作者来寻找迷人和原始的科学故事来到洛桑。

What sort of speakers can we expect to see at the event?

We will have senior science journalists from major worldwide media such as the纽约时报,Washington Post,新科学家, MIT Technology Review, Swiss Television and radio RTS, BBC and勒蒙德, to name a few, who will share theirinsights, skills and experience.

还将有新的和才华横溢的年轻演讲者，为当今的新闻业带来新的动态。这些人包括欧洲解决方案新闻网络大使Nina Fasciaux和尼日利亚医生，作家和记者Uzodinma Iweala等人，负责美国的非洲非洲中心。

How do you plan to ensure inclusivity for attendees from both the global South and North?

Science journalism simply defined – bringing science results to the public and debating them in the media in the most correct, relevant, independent and societally useful way – is similar on every continent.

Many sessions will therefore address general challenges for any journalist while the programme also includes sessions and workshops dedicated to nurturing good journalism in the global South, helping freelancers from developing countries to pitch their stories to editors from established media brands and to enlarge theirnetworks.

全天预赛作坊on science journalism in French-speaking countries will focus on establishing links between journalists from West Africa and French-speaking science institutions in the global North. And some sessions of the programme will be simultaneously translated into French. Another pre-event workshop will be held in Spanish for Latin American participants. We’ve worked hard to make our programme really inclusive.

Could you give us a summary of the field trips lined up for the event?

WCSJ2019的主题是Reaching new heights in science journalism- 参考参与者将在会议场所将拥有的阿尔卑斯山的壮观观点的戏剧，以及我们来自瑞士，法国和意大利三位科学记者协会的高山财团，共同组织了会议。

Thus, many of our field trips will take place on – or even in – the mountains. Have you ever dreamed of walking on a glacier? Or of sleeping in a 90 per cent energy autonomous mountain hut? Maybe you’d like to visit the heart of the biggest wall-dam in the world? Or travel to 3500m to reach the highestresearchstation in the Alps accessible by train, inside the Jungfrau, one of the Alps most famous peaks?

There will also, of course, be opportunities to descend into the tunnels and caverns housing the world’s largest particle accelerator facilities at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, also called CERN. If any of these appeals to you, then WCSJ2019 is an event for you.

Along with the mountain field trips, we also have field trips going to Swiss science institutions, many in nearby Geneva or Zurich, to French institutions in Paris, Lyon and Grenoble, to Genoa and Ispra in Italy, to the European Astronauts’ Centre in Germany, and even to places as far afield as the laboratory of the Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East, Jordan or St Petersburg in Russia.S o, whatever your scientific taste, we have it covered.
