“We are thrilled to announce that EFSJ will organise a European Science Journalism Conference in Hannover, Germany, in 2026! The event will take place on 14 and 15 October, alongside the annual WPK Wissenswerte conference on 15 and 16 October. The main topic of the conference will be ‘Science journalism for a world in crisis’.

“From pandemics to climate change, from water scarcity and wildfires to shrinking access to essential medicines, science journalists are tasked with covering crises while uncovering solutions, highlighting societal transformations, holding power to account, and helping societies navigate a world in turmoil.

“ECSJ26 will set the stage for exploring how science journalists can respond to global turbulence with rigor, creativity, and impact.”

The last conference, normally biennial, took place in 2022.
