What makes the EUP unique > A
new partnership
A large communication gap exists between science professionals and the
general public. The EUP Collaborative
is based upon an innovative partnership between leading scientists and
education professionals, working in a close and cooperative relationship
from the very beginning. This collaboration draws on the strengths of
each group. The scientists are eager to communicate their extensive knowledge
and research, and the informal science education professionals have the
skills to translate these complex and often invisible phenomena to the
public. Science educators at the Exploratorium (San Francisco), the Science
Museum of Minnesota (St. Paul), and the Museum of Science and Industry
(Chicago), filmmakers, exhibit and Web designers, and science journalists
will continue to work together with the physicists, chemists, materials
scientists, and biological physicists in over 40 ICAM research institutions
to communicate emergent phenomena to the public at large. We are also
seeking collaborations with professional societies in the U.S. and Europe.
