NISE Network Nanoscale Science Public Reach Estimations (2015)

Summary of the major public reach estimates for the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network, as of 2014, the project was estimated to have reached over 30 million people through NanoDays and the Nano exhibition.

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this document is to consolidate and archive all of the major public reach estimates that have been generated as part of the Network evaluation. Brief descriptions of the counting studies and projection methods used to generate these estimates will be included here, with additional information available in other referenced NISE Network evaluation reports and appendices. Finally, strengths and limitations of these estimates will be discussed, as well as future directions for - and implications of - this work. Over the life of the project, the NISE Network is estimated to have reached over 30 million people through NanoDays and the Nano exhibition as of 2014.
