Strengthening the relationship between science and society

Engaging the public in science is a diverse and growing field of scholarship and practice. We help nurture this developing field to ensure its effectiveness and sustainability and provide scientists with the support they need to communicate effectively. This includes a focus on more effective engagement with basic science.

Science Public Engagement Partnership
