The Scottish Science Centres Network
This comprises -
Each operates as a separate entity, to educate, inspire and attract visitors from across Scotland, providing a collaborative approach across the spectrum of Scotland's informal science education initiatives, such as touring schools outreach, festivals and initiatives promoting science careers.
By working collaboratively the network aims to share best practice, drive up commercial performance, and provide a more cohesive approach to science education, complementing the formal provision in schools and further and higher education.
In addition, the centres will work more closely with other science and society initiatives, not just to raise awareness of scientific issues and encourage a science-literate public, but also to education and inspire our children.
The Scottish Science Centres Network Strategy:2005-09 is available from the Scottish Government website.
