| Abstract | Nowadays, Scientists are supposed to have the obligation to inform public about what they are doing and what affect their research has to the society, and comparing with other professionals, scientists have incomparable advantages in pubic science communication activities. In China, scientists' engagement in public outreach activities has attracted more and more attention of both government and science communities in recent years. But Chinese scientists' engagement in outreach activities stays a lower participation rate comparing with western countries. At the meantime, UK universities and research institutes have abundant experience in promoting and supporting their scientists to get involved in public outreach activities. This paper conducted a comparison study between UK and China scientists' outreach activities. Two typical groups of researchers were selected from each country. The analysis was covering four dimensions in scientists' public outreach activities: the policy and regulation environment; the main forms and methods; the major content and range of audience; the incentives and evaluation of their efforts. From the comparison findings, the author intends to learn more about the status and local features of outreach activities in each country. At last, the paper will provide policy recommendations on how to promote more scientists to get involved in the public outreach activities, as well as how to improve the efficient and quality of outreach activities in China. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
