At the core of the COPUS network were the combined efforts and activities that took place at the local and regional levels. There was an unprecedented level of regional collaboration, coordinated by energetic volunteers who acted as sparks in their communities. These individuals accomplished an extraordinary amount in a very short period of time. Please explore the pages linked via this map to learn more about these accomplishments.
Moving Forward
COPUS will continue to serve its regional network of hubs throughout 2010. Regional hubs are locally-based communities of COPUS participants and science stakeholders that work together within a designated geographic region to promote the public understanding of science. Its members are self-determined and include scientists, universities, K-16 educators, informal science education centers, business leaders, and other professionals who collaborate to develop or coordinate activities that engage community members in science.
A new regional hub coordinator has been brought on to facilitate interactions among the hubs. To learn more about regional hubs and how to become one, visit http://www.copusproject.org/regional_hubs.php
