Benefits

  • Through workshop attendance — reach leadership of many diverse scientific societies at a single event in order to share the needs of your organization. Scientific discipline breadth is unique to this workshop.
  • Become aware of disruptive technology that may be advantageous to your organization.
  • Raise awareness of your organization's support of science.
  • Association with science leaders across a very broad spectrum (many major scientific societies are participatory, ranging from American Chemical Society to Soil and Crop Science Society of America in their breadth). Scientific Society Presidents represent more than 100,000 US scientists.

Past sponsors who have participated in workshops have found great value in contacts made and have adjusted their overall program(s) based on ideas captured at the workshop. 

Relationships developed at CSSP have led to major investments in interdisciplinary programs at universities. One example is Raman spectroscopy as a tool in sensors to detect issues in food production systems at Texas A&M University.         

CSSP is the leading resource for scientific society leadership development across all scientific disciplines. Your support will specifically target how science society leaders can take on and strengthen the role of science in helping with society's grand challenges, to build interdisciplinary working groups to directly address solutions, and develop highly effective skills for communicating scientific solutions to the public and policy makers.

It is critical that the public and policy makers trust the science and scientific processes for implementing these solutions, together, to improve the future of science and society!

CSSP also offers Institutional Affiliate Memberships: $2500/year
