Summary/Overview:

Sciencewise was originally a project grant-making scheme but has evolved into "an overarching programme, which works with policy makers to identify areas of science and technology that would benefit from dialogue, commissions and then monitors a range of activities delivered by expert dialogue practitioners."

Sciencewise runs a number of programmes designed to improve and enable public dialogue around science based issues. They have commissioned work around stem cell research, nanotechnology and drug addiction. Their website provides a clear guide to their work.

The website showcases the projects commissioned by Sciencewise and is designed in a clear and accessible way. An online newsletter is provided along with a list of relevant links to related websites.

Overall, the website explains its purpose and projects clearly and provides a little information on the reasons behind practicing good public engagement in science and technology.
