中文摘要:

      作为一种新型科学传播模式，科学咖啡馆在欧美国家越来越流行。它让科学家与普通公众聚集在休闲场所，在轻松愉快的氛围下讨论科学。它是一种公益性的草根运动，具备自发组织、低成本、平等性、灵活性等特点，赋予普通公众参与科学、评估科研的权利，体现了科学民主化趋势。虽然也存在一些困境，如听众身份、地域、资金等限制，但总的来说，其前景十分光明，对我国科普工作者颇有启发意义。

英文摘要:

      As a new pattern of science communication，Café Scientifique is getting more and more popular in Europe and America. It provides a leisure space for scientists and lay public to discuss science and technology issues in an informal and friendly atmosphere. Café Scientifique is a sort of grass-root activity for public welfare，with self-organization，low cost，mutual equality and flexible form. Non-scientists are empowered to engage in science and envaluating science researches，which represents a trend of democratizing science. Although it still faces several problems，such as audience，location and cost，we believe that there is a bright future for Café Scientifique and it will inspire science communicators in China a lot.
