Colleges & Universities

Identify whether the proposal concerns teaching, research communication, model-based learning or a public-science activity. Define the audience and what the collaboration should produce.

Distinguish exploratory work from a funded project or a formal institutional service.

Use an authorized contact and identify the relevant department or project owner. Institutional names, logos and researcher affiliations should not imply endorsement without approval.

Check intellectual-property, publication and student-work policies before sharing materials.

Describe the data required and avoid sending private records at the inquiry stage. Research involving participants or restricted information needs appropriate approvals independent of a website feature.

Include accessibility, device requirements and alternatives when teaching activities rely on interactive content.

Choose a small scope, named responsibilities, measurable outcome and review point. State resources, timing and what would justify continuing or stopping.

Contact SCIENCIBLE to discuss feasibility before announcing a partnership or integrating an unconfirmed service into required coursework.

For an initial teaching pilot, an institution could propose one activity, a limited audience, an accessibility alternative and a review of student feedback. For research communication, the output might be a publicly shareable explanation checked by the responsible researchers. Both require explicit agreement on permissions, scope and how the institution may be represented.
