Dear list-members, For a research project, I would love to get in touch with science communication researchers in the USA or other countries that collaborate closely with a science centre or museum in the development / evaluation of exhibit(ion) design. In particular, I am looking for collaborations in a context of Responsible Research & Innovation, or otherwise projects focused on exhibits that facilitate reflection / deliberation on science / technology. See the reference list below for some examples. In case this is too specific, I welcome ideas on other uni-museum collaborations too. Do you have any idea(s)? Please e-mail me personally via: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Dr. ir.
