This session will look at a number of different case studies relating to the benefits of partnerships in Museums and Science Centers. The case studies will cover a variety of areas including exhibitions and collections, as well as research and development into science engagement. In addition, the audience will be encouraged to share their own experiences with partnerships and the impact that this has on organizations. For each case study, we will pull out a key idea that can be strengthened through partnerships.

Whether through sharing research, collections or best practice, partnerships often help us to think big and do big things. The relationships can also continue to grow beyond the original scope of work leading to even more exciting opportunities in the future.
