ComSciCon provides graduate student attendees with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet early career leaders in Science Communication, learn from and interact with a remarkable group of invited experts, and produce an original work communicating complex technical concepts from science and engineering to a new audience.
Application, registration, and attendance at the workshop is free of charge for accepted applicants. Attendees to ComSciCon are required to attend the entire 3-day workshop and to submit a science communication piece (articles, videos, comics, etc) prior to the workshop.
Attendance at ComSciCon is limited to current (or recently graduated*) graduate students in residence at US or Canadian institutions. International students who study at US and Canadian institutions are gladly welcomed. We unfortunately cannot accept students from outside the US or Canada.
ComSciCon applications are competitive and we encourage applicants to prepare their responses with care.
We encourage women, minorities (minoritized identities), and members of the LGBTQIA+ communities to apply. ComSciCon is committed to diversity and equity, and encourages all people to apply to the conference. Accommodations can be provided upon request for people with disabilities. We will provide opportunities to request specific accommodations after the selection process for attendees is complete.
