Activating the Potential of Science Popularization:The Strategy of European Science and Technology Museums in Promoting Scientist Participation and Its Inspiration for China
With the trend of vigorously promoting the participation of scientists in science popularization activities,how to assist scientists in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of science popularization has become a challenge faced by various countries.This research argues to draw on the experience of European science museums in assisting scientists in conducting science popularization activities.Based on interviews with the heads of education departments at five science and technology museums in Europe,and an analysis of the exhibition materials at these venues,this research delves into how these five venues support effective participation of scientists in science popularization activities through interactive exhibitions and educational resources.The results show that the European Science and Technology Museum effectively enhances the participation and effectiveness of scientists in science popularization activities through diverse display methods and professional training.These findings provide reference for China's science and technology museums to establish diverse platforms for interaction and communication between scientists and the public,emphasizing the provision of science popularization ability training for scientists,and collaborating with scientists to promote the spread of scientific spirit.In addition,it is recommended to conduct more basic research and utilize the technological advantages of science museums to innovate the forms of science popularization activities and promote the inheritance and development of science and culture.
