21. Social Media and Applications
• CERN and the outreach groups of
(ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb) have
their own social media accounts
(twitter, facebook, G+)
CERN held a tweetup on Friday 27 September 2013,
on the eve of the CERN Open
Days..(http://communications.web.cern.ch/cerntweetup)
• Android και iOS: CERN app (SFT
group), OpenDays app (ΙΤ group),

22. Future Challenges...
• Reach an increasingly diverse audience
• Digital technologies – Is something changing in the
form of the message?
• Creating a culture of communications; An invitation
to scientists and researchers.
22

23. Inspired by CERN…
• Physics/Science as part of modern culture – Opening
new spaces of dialogue.
• Translating/Interpreting research results
- different language/codes
- marginalized/excluded groups
- a more active audience
• Mediating between the local and the global: CERN
and Future Libraries
