Description

The Standing Committee on Advancing Science Communication brings together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to expand opportunities for all to contribute to and benefit from the insights from science. The Standing Committee provides leadership and works to advance the science and practice of science communication and engagement in all of its forms, with a goal of addressing important real-world challenges in ethical and evidence-informed ways. To accomplish that mission, the Standing Committee works to:

  • expand collaborations that build the evidence base in science communication and engagement and advance the use of research in practice;
  • increase institutional and systemic supports for the science and practice of science communication and engagement; and
  • build the capacity of individuals and organizations to ethically and effectively communicate science and engage a range of audiences.
