Consortium

The Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes operates on multiple scales. CSPO is an independent unit in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University, with university-wide faculty appointments, faculty affiliates, staff, programs and projects, as detailed on this website. CSPO also collaborates with an array of other units at ASU, including: the Biodesign Institute; the Global Institute of Sustainability; the Center for Biology and Society; the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing; and the Center for the Study of the Law, Science, and Technology.

Crucially, the Consortium also extends far beyond ASU to include a network of collaborating groups whose activities focus, in whole or in part, on enhancing the connections between science, technology, and desired societal outcomes, through a diverse portfolio of research, education, and outreach activities:

The Center for Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Colorado
The School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology
Institute for Science, Innovation and Society, Oxford University
Science, Environment, and Development Group, Harvard University
Institut für Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung/Institute for Science and Technology Studies, Bielefeld University
Expert and Citizen Assessment of Science and Technology (ECAST), ASU Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes, The Loka Institute, Museum of Science Boston, Science Cheerleader and SciStarter, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholar Science and Technology Innovation Program
