Welcome to the Science Alliance [Archived 2003] Team site!

Science Outreach and Informal Science Education are our goals. We come from every school and college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We work together because together we are creating the 21st century version of The Wisconsin Idea, where the University stands ready to provide knowledge and learning to people of all ages.

Some of our key concepts and ideas include:: The Campus as a Destination; Exploration Stations for hands on learning; The Learning Lobby for 24/7 learning at each UW Building; The Science Museum at UW-Madison, a place we need to greet and reach visitors interested in science.

Science Alliance organizes science outreach programs of UW-Madison to synergize their work and to make it easier for the public to find and use the people, facilities and other resources of UW-Madison to explore science as a way of probing the unknown.

The Science Alliance was launched in 2003 at the beginning of the Centennial of the Wisconsin Idea , the commitment that all the people of Wisconsin should benefit from the work of the University.

The Science Alliance maintains the website at science.wisc.edu to help connect people in communities across Wisconsin to the science outreach enterprise of the university.

The Science Alliance organizes Science Expeditions , a perennial event held in April to welcome people to campus to explore science as discovery.

The Science Alliance is co-sponsoring "The Forum on the Future of Science Outreach in the Second Century of the Wisconsin Idea" held Tuesdays at noon in Room 1360 in the Biotechnology Center, 425 Henry Mall, starting on September 2, 2003.
