National and international scientists and educationists have volunteered to share their ideas and thoughts on a range of current issues. While exposing the audience to frontiers in science, technology and engineering each session will include a video film demonstrating the basic principles that form the basis of the work.

These will be web based colloquiums open to interested academicians and scholars. Each session will be planned in advance and will comprise a brief introduction of the speaker, a crisp presentation and discussion with the participants.

Promotion of methods of science and maths and skills for critical thinking are the keys to developing a strong nation. SPEAKING SCIENCE is an important medium to attract bright minds to careers in research in frontier areas of science. Interested teachers of science and mathematics and high school students will find the series very engaging and useful.

Science, engineering and technology are becoming more complex and impacting on the life of a common man. Health, education, transportation, food and agriculture are witnessing major progress and many developments leave impact on our environment. To meaningfully participate in development debates and understand the issues being discussed in gram panchayats or state assemblies we need to promote SCIENCE COMMUNICATION.

Scientists and experts are not necessarily good communicators. Many factors require to be considered to ensure that the right message reaches the audience without distortion. This is the multidisciplinary field that is at the core of NOSTC

NOSTC (Network of Organizations for Science and Technology Communication) was formed about 26 years back with the objectives of initiating and implementing coordinated programmes of science outreach in association with government and non-government organizations. National Council of Science and Technology Communication, Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi catalyzed the formation of this organization. It is a registered body guided by a Board of Governors with headquarters at Delhi. It has about hundred members spread in all states and union territories. Volunteers in districts lend it great strength and capability for implementing projects that reach the common man and woman.
