The last 20 years has seen an explosion in organisations, schemes and projects in the field of science communication. This broad area is variously referred to as public engagement with science, science in society and science communication.

The science communication landscape includes science education (informal and formal), science in the media, and all forms of public engagement from information provision through to public events, consultations and dialogues.
