Rustat Conferences website launch


The Rustat Conferences has launched a new website at http://www.rustat.org/

The site acts as the main point of reference for the Rustat Conferences and the Science and Human Dimension Project, a public understanding of science programme. Both are based at Jesus College, University of Cambridge.

Rustat Conferences brings together decision makers from politics,the media, business, finance and education with academics to discuss the vital issues of the day in an academic setting. The next Rustat Conferences will discuss the Future of Democracy.

The Rustat.org website also serves as a resource for sharing reports from past conferences of both the Rustat Conference and the Science and Human Dimension Project. The Rustat Conference Archive on the site contains a report on the most recent conference on the Economic Crisis. In the future Rustat Conferences reports will be available as digital editions (ebooks), podcasts and videos.

In my role as Director of Media Symposia, I am on the advisory board of the Rustat Conferences and managed the project to develop the website and the reports it provides. The site was expertly developed by Wideeyedvision which specialises in website development and digital cultural heritage projects.
