Crastina is a platform for the exchange of experience, knowledge and inspiration regarding both scientific peer-to-peer communication and science dissemination
- What? An international network of (mostly young) people who love to communicate science & tech.
- Why? We think science needs to be communicated with more passion and professionalism.
- Where? On our website with interviews & resources + on social media + on Skype and IRL.
- Who? A content group (the Crew), a think tank (the Academy), + lots of friends & contacts.
- When? Right now – as a matter of fact, we’ve just geared up.
