EMME Summer School 2025

We are delighted to announce the successful conclusion of the Euro-Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) Summer School for Science Communication 2025!

From 21-25 September 2025, 25 middle- and senior-level professionals from the Euro-Mediterranean and Middle East regions gathered at Ciência Viva's Pavilion of Knowledge in Lisbon, Portugal, for five intensive days of training, collaboration, and innovation.

EMME Summer School 2025 was a vital step in strengthening the role of science centers and museums as powerful catalysts for sustainable progress and democratic growth across our shared regions. The program brought together experts and leaders for hands-on workshops and interactive sessions focused on:

  • Collaborative science communication.
  • Leveraging cutting-edge AI tools for engagement.
  • Co-creating impactful programs with diverse communities, including youth and policymakers.
  • Developing compelling exhibitions.

Participants gained practical strategies and theoretical insights to transform their organizations into powerful agents of change and development within their communities. It was a unique opportunity to network, exchange expertise, and stimulate the development of cooperative projects among members of NAMES and Ciência Viva networks.
