We are delighted to share with you ASDC’s latest report commissioned by BIS entitled Assessing the impact of UK science and discovery centres: Towards a set of common indicators.

The report explores impact measures in use across the UK and further afield and makes recommendations based on this research. It also offers three 'impact cards' for science engagement professionals to use with their school students, teachers and leisure visitors. While we have consulted widely in the preparation of this report, we would consider this to be the start of a wider consultation process amongst the many thousands of engagement professionals in the UK's science and discovery centres and museums.
