The Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement (CSCCE) is a research and training center to support and study the emerging field of scientific community engagement.

The goal of CSCCE is to professionalize and institutionalize the role of the community engagement manager (CEM) within science. All of our activities are in service of this.

You can find more information about our training and consulting offerings on our website. We also convene a community of practice for community managers in STEM, and host regular community-engaged events. 

Here on Zenodo you can find CSCCE-produced resources available for free download. These include: 

A three-part guide to CSCCE’s community participation model:

• Part one introduces the model and outlines how to use it to guide community programming. 

• Part two explores the role of community champions in maintaining, growing, and evolving a community. 

• Part three takes a look at the importance of scaffolding for building inclusive communities.

A four-part series on using virtual events to facilitate community building:

• Making a PACT for more engaging virtual meetings and events offers a framework for planning a virtual event.

• Next we take a look at selecting and testing online tools.

• The event formats section, co-authored by members of our community, shares a number of ways to convene online. 

• In the curated resources section you’ll find a collection of additional articles, guides, and tools to make your next event a success. 

A growing collection of community profiles that showcase a wide variety of STEM communities using CSCCE’s core frameworks to describe their programming.
