The EAC12 is the official conference of the European Science Events Association EUSEA.

The EAC12 is also an official satellite event of the ESOF2012 conference (Euroscience Open Forum), taking place also in Dublin, starting with an evening reception on 11 July (just after the end of EAC12) and ending on 15 July, with reduction for participation to both conferences. Fees (members, non-members, combinations) will be announced soon.

The sessions of the EAC12 offer mainly two different possibilities to create new opportunities for the organisations of the participants: 

(1) experts from the European Commission, from research/science and from industry will present their new ideas, new projects and new opportunities for cooperation, and 

(2) interesting, novel structured sessions to meet as many participants as possible in a direct way for collecting and discussing new ideas, joint project - and sharing experiences.
