Euroscience was co-ordinator of the EU-funded project Earthwake.

Earthwake aims at using the appeal of popular strands of European TV to create a new awareness and interest in science. Unlike science programmes which often address the converted audiences, Earthwake reflected the new philosophy of « science in society », introducing much more science into drama, wildlife programmes and sports, which command huge audiences.
Earthwake prepared a strategy in the context of FP7 with the goal to produce an agenda for the coming years.

Leading European actors, notably TV executives, scientists, science communicators, TV writers and producers gathered from 8 to 9 November in Strasbourg to explore models for European collaboration, how best practice can be spread and how targeted money can act as a catalyst. The event also involved the public, advertisers and web designers.
