The Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS) is a grassroots effort whose goal is to engage sectors of the public in science to increase their understanding of the nature of science and its value to society. A key objective of COPUS is to create new forums for communication and to develop new opportunities for engaging the public with science.

We invite your organization to join this coalition and to work with others in your community to engage the general public in dynamic ways that will make science more accessible, personally meaningful, and locally relevant.
