Radio accompanies our lives. Whether we look for plain information, cultural stimuli, hints for a discussion, campaign arguments, or just fun and entertainment, we will find a radio station which satisfies our needs. New forms of dissemination of audio contents (web radios, streaming audio, podcasting, etc) have further increased the capacity of the radio to fill niches, in a cheap, open, and friendly manner. In many of these niches, we do find science programmes or science topics. The radio session at the CER 2005 conference explored innovative ways of bringing scientific research to our ears, and gave rise to some fundamental questions: Are the sound waves the best place to carve a mature relationship between science and society? Are the innovative audio media well exploited for science communication? How could we promote the presence of science in local, commercial or entertainment radios? What makes a good science story for the radio? Is language a real barrier to communicating European research? What are the “parameters of satisfaction” for a scientist participating in a radio programme? |
