The 2024 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2024) will be held from 14-18 October in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The programme includes plenary and keynote talks, workshops, tutorials, and forums. We (AIhub) are also holding a science communication session, run in collaboration with IEEE Spectrum. The forums are three-hour events that focus on a particular topic. Each forum will have keynote speakers, with some including a poster session and other talks.

We're pleased to announce that we will be giving a short introduction to science communication for roboticists at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) this year. This will be held in person and via a livestream on Tuesday 15 October from 13:00 GST (09:00 UTC), and will be run in collaboration with IEEE Spectrum. If you fancy finding out how you can communicate your research to a general audience in different formats, then please do join us. Following an hour-long introductory talk, there will be an optional, open, drop-in session where you can try out some of the things you learnt in the course, ask any sci-comm questions, or chat about your ideas and stories. You can also watch online via a livestream.
