Co-Created Public Engagement with Science (CC-PES) Project Reports

The Co-Created Public Engagement with Science Project (CC-PES) led by the Museum of Science seeks to build capacity among museums and other informal science education (ISE) institutions to develop and implement co-created public engagement with science activities. The heart of the CC-PES model is involving community and civic representatives as co-creators of dialog programs that address important socio-scientific questions, and then finding a way to turn community input into action.

• Public Engagement with Science - public forum programs that include dialogue and deliberation in partnership with local community, civic, and scientist partners.
• Co-Created – participation of public and civic participants along with scientists and informal educators in all stages of the CC-PES process, including topic selection, decision-making, and policy formation.
