The CSCCE

And keep an eye on our Events calendar for upcoming Mini-workshops, multi-week courses, and community activities: www.cscce.org/calendar/

Next week we’ll be kicking off our second private PMB cohort. If a private CSCCE-hosted training sounds like something you’d like to learn more about, please let us know!

The same can be said for our Mini-workshop catalogue, which curates “bitesize” training sessions that can be taken as general registration offerings or private sessions: www.cscce.org/trainings/cs...

PMB, like CEF, is a course that often appeals to our clients - it’s a great course for small teams or groups of grantees that both upskills and connects participants - and complements other training options.

Trainings - CSCCE Information about the scientific community engagement trainings provided by CSCCE - community management, culture change, systems thinking, leadership.

CEF isn’t the only multi-week training we offer: Nurturing Online Communities (NOC) and Project Management for Scientists (PMB) are also open for registration. www.cscce.org/trainings/

And if the cost of participation is holding you back, let us know! We have a couple of 50% off discounts that we can offer FOR THIS COHORT ONLY!

To help you make the case to your supervisor that this training is good for you AND the community you manage, check out our “impact infographic,” which visualizes our recent evaluation of the training: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

If you’re interested but need more time to secure signoff or funding, please send us an email: training [at] cscce [dot] org. Do let us know by the end of this week.

If you or someone you know (TELL THEM ASAP!!) would like to join us in September, there’s still time to register via Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.com/e/scientific...

We have a couple of tickets left for our upcoming foundational training on community management in STEM: www.cscce.org/trainings/cef/

This week at CSCCE, we’re running a Mini-workshop on creating core values statements and preparing for a client project management training - PLUS last call for Scientific Community Engagement Fundamentals!

And we’ve also included links to a number of resources shared during Lou’s panel - which focused on strategies for building strong relationships in distributed and interdisciplinary scientific teams.

In the blog post, you can find a link to Camille’s presentation slides, which offer a succinct overview of our Community Manager Certification Program.

And thank you to everyone who joined and participated in both the panel discussion and Camille’s oral presentation - we appreciated your thoughtful questions and contributions!

A big thank you to our panelists, Erin Conn, @mirk47.bsky.social, Rieley Auger, and Zach Baker, who each shared their expertise as community managers and engaged with each other and the panel audience during Lou’s session.

New on the CSCCE blog: A recap of @louwoodley.bsky.social and @camisanti.bsky.social’s participation in this week’s Science of Team Science conference: www.cscce.org/2025/08/01/c...

We hope you’ll join us for a training soon - and do let us know if you have any questions at all: training [at] cscce [dot] org.

Birdaro is a new initiative from CSCCE, and this inaugural cohort of trainees will get to spend 12 weeks exploring the challenges and opportunities of scaling and sustainability in open source: www.birdaro.org

And behind-the-scenes we’ve also been reviewing the almost 60 applications we’ve received from open-source project teams to the Birdaro training program.

We plan on sharing more about their participation in the conference later this week/early next week on the CSCCE blog, so watch this space. Or, if you’ll be at the conference, make sure you attend their sessions!

The panel Lou’s hosting, on strategies for building strong scientific teams, features several participants in our Certification Program: Zach Baker, @mirk47.bsky.social, Erin Conn, and Rieley Auger.

Also this week: Lou and Camille are headed to Science of Team Science! They’ll both be in action on Wednesday: Lou hosting a panel, Camille giving an oral presentation.
