Get ready for Comunica2<\/strong><\/a>, the number-one International Social Media Conference<\/strong> that will be held on our campus on February 25 and 26<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sixth edition of the conference will be hosted by the journalist Toni Garrido<\/strong><\/a> and the intense program will address the challenges faced in today’s Internet, with front line speaker such as international digital media icon Esther Vargas<\/strong>, who will talk about the current panorama of the new Spanish language digital media. We will also find out about the excellent dissemination work that the National Library<\/strong> is doing on social media, and reflect on how humor and satire are handled on internet, with entertaining speakers such as Dios tuitero<\/strong> (God on Twitter) or GerardoTC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition, we will discuss social mobilization 2.0, with Change.org<\/strong> and Doctors without Borders<\/strong>; we will hear from young female Youtubers<\/strong> who are authentic social phenomena; we will listen to 2.0 poetry<\/strong> and talk to the people behind the social media accounts of major television series<\/strong> and more… all with the support of Fund\u00e9u- BBVA<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Comunica2 program<\/a> will address both scientific and professional issues<\/strong>, and will be rounded out with the reading of communications and workshops<\/strong> that will go more in-depth on specific issues.<\/p>\n

POPULAR SCIENCE 2.0<\/p>\n

And since in addition from taking advantage of having this fantastic conference on our campus, we also want to add value, this year we will once again hold a Popular Science workshop<\/strong> in Comunica2\"comunica2.<\/p>\n

The event will also be attended by Ainhoa Go\u00f1i<\/strong><\/a>, Director of Communications at the CSIC<\/a><\/strong>, who, together with her team, won the 2015 Concha Garcia Campoy Journalism Award from the Academy of Sciences and Television Arts<\/strong>. In Comunica2, Go\u00f1i will lead the workshop “Instagram as a dissemination tool”, where she will share the knowledge she has acquired throughout her very interesting career.<\/p>\n

The journalist started preparing the launch of CSIC in Social Media in 2010, landing with a splash on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. And this expert in scientific and institutional communication<\/strong> wants to prove that science is anything but boring, She knows this because she has had a lot of fun along the way, for example, when NASA<\/strong> asked her to live tweet the launch of the last rover robot on Mars, Curiosity, on board the Mars Science Laboratory.<\/p>\n
