Support Systems for Scientists’ Communication and Engagement: Summary of Initiative, Landscape Reports and Workshops

This workshop series, convened by the Kavli, Rita Allen, Packard and Moore Foundations, was intended to view the entire system of people who support scientists’ engagement and communication efforts in order to explore how this system can be most effective and sustainable. The discussions examined where this system is thriving, the limits people within the system face and what can be done to ensure their efforts are commensurate with the demand for quality communication and engagement support. Conducted over four closely scheduled workshops in late 2017 and early 2018, the convenings brought
