This webinar will introduce the findings of a new report, "Broadening Horizons: How STEM-in-Society Programs Train Socially Responsible Scientists, Engineers, and Policy Leaders" published by the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. This research describes the current landscape of STEM-in-Society higher education programs across the United States and uses case studies-including interviews with program leaders, students, and alumni-to illustrate the current opportunities and challenges these programs are facing. This report was funded by a grant from the Kavli Foundation.

The Kavli Foundation is dedicated to advancing science for the benefit of humanity. The foundation’s mission is to stimulate basic research in astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience and theoretical physics; strengthen the relationship between science and society; and honor scientific discoveries with The Kavli Prize.
