MUSESC

MUSESC is an international nonprofit organization that promotes collaboration among museums, universities, and cultural heritage professionals to advance museology, science communication, and education. The organization facilitates professional networks, shares best practices, supports research, and develops training resources. Its work aims to improve public access to museum collections, strengthen educational outreach, and foster interdisciplinary study.

MUSESC was established by a coalition of museums, academic institutions, and cultural organizations seeking to address shared challenges in collection management, digital access, and audience engagement. Since its inception it has grown to include regional chapters and partner institutions, enabling joint projects, symposiums, and online knowledge exchanges.

Its activities include annual conferences, online seminars, collaborative research projects, and capacity-building programs for staff and educators. The governance structure comprises a board of directors, regional committees, and a central secretariat that coordinates programs, communications, and financial administration. Membership is open to museums, universities, research centers, and related cultural organizations that endorse the mission.

MUSESC emphasizes openness and international collaboration, and it works with other cultural heritage networks to harmonize standards for access, interpretation, and digital curation. Through its resources and partnerships, the organization seeks to advance professional practice and public engagement in cultural and scientific education.
