Hello everyone,
For those of you who are supporting STEM communities and collaborations – including working groups - you may be interested in our latest resource, a guidebook describing the CSCCE Community Participation Model.
The model describes five modes of member engagement - with four that occur within a STEM community and one meta-mode that extends outside the community. We’ve found it to be very helpful in supporting others with their program design and communication and engagement strategies.
- The full guidebook with more context about implementation can be freely downloaded here: https://zenodo.org/record/3997802
- And here’s a summary of our recent webinar describing how the model’s been applied in two initiatives - one at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and one for the National Microbiome Data Collaborative project: https://www.cscce.org/2020/08/28/august-community-call-recap-meeting-members-where-they-are-to-build-a-successful-scientific-community/
Please reach out with any feedback or questions, including to discuss how you might work with us to apply the model to your own community-building projects.
Best,
Lou

codes from DIYBio
many had a hand in it like @rudiger , what was interesting was the social engagement of the continental biohacker vs the enrepeneurial USA people
DIYbio.org organized a series of congresses in 2011, where we brought together individuals and delegates from regional groups in North America and Europe to collaborate on the development of a DIYbio code that may serve as a framework for helping us achieve a vibrant, productive and safe global community of DIYbio practitioners, regional groups, and community labs.
In May 2011, individuals and delegates from regional groups of DIY biologists from across Europe came together at the London School of Economics BIOS Centre with the goal of generating an aspirational code of ethics for the emerging do-it-yourself biology movement. The congress was composed of participants from five countries, including Denmark, England, France, Germany, and Ireland .
In July 2011, a second congress was held in San Francisco with participants from regional DIYbio groups across North America, including individuals from ARC (Houston, TX), BioBridge (San Francisco, CA), BioCurious (Mountain View, CA), BOSSLab (Boston, MA), Genspace (Brooklyn, NY), and LA Biohackers (Los Angeles, CA).

Good to have a discussion on this here… as we also had some recent local discussions on how to develop this for hackeria, aswell as with other communities we are involved.
In the GOSH community there are currently ongoing discussions here:
