The Science Coalition’s “Science of…” series lifts research off the page and brings it to life – convening and engaging key policymakers, influencers, academic experts, and business leaders about the ways in which basic scientific research strengthens America’s economy, keeps our nation safe, and improves the health and well-being of the American people.
The event series translates cutting-edge university research into engaging, hands-on experiences for lawmakers and Congressional staff. Each event is designed to make the value of federally funded university research accessible and relevant to key decision-makers. Interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, and direct conversations between researchers and policymakers foster meaningful dialogue and highlight the essential role of sustained federal support in driving innovation, creating jobs, and growing the economy.
The “Science of” also bridges the political spectrum and enjoys strong bipartisan support.
By addressing critical and timely national priorities, the “Science of…” series plays a pivotal role in advocating for federally funded scientific research at American colleges and universities and underscoring its profound impact on society and the economy.
