ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Science festivals provide a good example of such partnerships. A few quick examples:

- Founding collaborators for the Cambridge Science Festival include: MIT and the MIT Museum, the Museum of Science and Harvard (as well as others)
- The Philadelphia Science Festival is led by the Franklin Institute, which has assembled a team of 6 universities as collaborators (as well as others)
- The San Diego Science Festival, led by UCSD, is working closely with both the Fleet Science Center and San Diego County school districts (as well as others)

Let me know if you'd like more specifics, more examples, or contacts to initiatives like these.
