Welcome to
Science.Events (Beta)
Gathering a Community of practice for
Public Science Events
Science.Events is an online hub for a community of practice dedicated to public science events.
The members of this community of practice share a craft: each member is affiliated with at least one event initiative, and they are united by an interest in live, in-person events that connect public audiences and science/STEM in some way. Members are also united by a sense of community with each other: every member actively participates in some form of networking activity every year.
Well...now that you've found us, make yourself comfortable and stay a while. Take a look at some of the event initiatives our members produce (reaching more than a half-million people in 2024), consider joining us at our Summit, or leap right into Beta testing and request to become a member!
