Deepening understanding and practice of effective public engagement around basic research.

<p>The Science Public Engagement Partnership (<a href="https://scipep.org/" target="_blank">SciPEP</a>) between the Department of Energy’s Office of Science and The Kavli Foundation, aims to deepen understanding of effective public engagement around basic research, explore how to improve this practice and provide tools for scientists and practitioners.<br></p>

Why Connect People to Basic Science?

Science and Society Director Brooke Smith explores the goals and questions about engaging people in basic science.

Communicating the Future: Engaging the Public in Basic Science

On July 27-28, 2021, SciPEP convened a virtual conference exploring the unique characteristics of the relationship between the public and basic research, drawing from the experience and expertise of our colleagues in the science and science communication communities.

The Kavli Foundation is dedicated to advancing science for the benefit of humanity. The foundation’s mission is implemented through Kavli research institutes globally and programs that support basic science in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience and theoretical physics; initiatives that strengthen the relationship between science and society; and prizes and awards including the international Kavli Prizes and the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism awards.
