We’re working to consolidate and share resources about scientific community management and to nurture a new community of practice for scientific community professionals.
We’re building out a series of resources pages that currently include:
- Glossary of scientific community management terms
- CSCCE Community Participation Model
- Scientific Community Profiles
- Hiring / Becoming a community manager
- Being a scientific community manager
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
- Online communities and communication tools
- Organizing community events
- Community champions programs
If you’d like to contribute, for example by offering to present a webinar or create a case study of your community, we’d love to hear from you (info@cscce.org)

The CSCCE community of practice
We host a community of practice for scientific community managers – and those interested in scientific community-building. With monthly webinars and an online Slack group this is a great way to start connecting with others supporting scientific communities.
Stay up to date with what’s coming via our monthly newsletter.
State of scientific community management survey
In 2016 we carried out a survey of over 100 scientific community professionals to determine more about their career paths to date, their skillsets and challenges. You can read the survey results here.
