National Anthropocene Education Network exhibits and programs are intended to inform large audiences while also
encouraging the creation of long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between science centers and
environmental institutions by providing both parties something that each values: For museums—novel
ISE experiences for their audiences and access to cutting-edge research; for environmental institutes—
resources to reach audiences currently outside their spheres of influence. Together the partners will be
able to accomplish something challenging for each to realize on their own—attract and interact with
audiences of decision makers.
