As part of the SiS Catalyst Project, we are working on the development of a SiS benchmarking and monitoring framework. This framework is intended to estimate how "fit and ready" science organisations are to engage with atypical young recipients - which is highly relevant for Children's Universities and similar activities.
We are currently piloting this, and asking a number of organisations involved in children's activities to fill out a short questionnaire.
