全民的科学中心——新兴大趋势对科学中心行业未来发展的影响

Science Centres for All——The Emerging Megatrends that will Impact on Science Centres in the Future

科学中心是相同的也是不同的。相同之处在于科学中心的核心目标是启发不同年龄和背景的人们参与科学,不同之处在于科学中心规模的差异以及所获得的资金来源方式不同,每个场馆在其所在社区也面临着不同的挑战与机遇。本文分析了新兴大趋势对科学中心行业未来发展的影响,提出了科学中心需要面对的共同主题。

Science Centres are the same- but different. They are united in their quest to make science accessible,relevant and inspiring for people of all ages and backgrounds. But they are different in size and scale,in how they are funded and the challenges and opportunities facing each one of theirs in respective communities are quite distinction and unique. Listening to and learning from each other,therefore,is critical. The paper will explore common themes that science centres need to address and will attempt to draw some conclusions.
