Forum programs engage participants in deliberative, inclusive conversations about issues that lie at the intersection of science and society. These programs allow Museum visitors, scientists, and policymakers to share their perspectives and learn from one another. The Museum of Science has developed and hosted over 100 Forum programs on a wide variety of topics, such as nanotechnology, deep space exploration, climate and energy policy, and synthetic biology.

This archive shares many of those Forum resources so that educators at other institutions can host Forum programs in their own communities. For more information, or if you have any questions, please email our team at forumrsvp@mos.org.
