Hi Anne, In terms of building networks and capacity - yes please. Let's keep in touch - I have your details now. In terms of the survey - I'd like to confine it to UK only, for the time being. I hope that's OK. Very best wishes Steve Steve Mesure BSc CSci CPhys MInstP FRSA CreScENDO (Creative Science Engagement Network Director and Originator).

Creative Science has been commissioned by NESTA to pilot a system of active and responsive networking that will link similar projects together. CreScENDO will help to develop lateral networks between schemes, encourage useful evaluation to be shared among practitioners and policy makers, and shift the culture into one of mutual support. In short, CreScENDO will help to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' and allow the science engagement communities to build capacity and improve performance. In order to build a picture of how the science and engineering engagement community perceives itself and to set a baseline, I am asking all involved in UK science engagement to complete the questionnaire found at www.usay.co.uk/evaluation/crescendo-1 If you would rather I sent you a copy of the questionnaire by post or email please contact me directly at the address below. You may like to know more about CreScENDO and how it may interact with your organisation. If so, please get in touch. Very best wishes Steve Mesure CreScENDO [log in to unmask] Steve Mesure BSc CSci CPhys MInstP FRSA CreScENDO (Creative Science Engagement Network Direction and Origination).
