The European Network of Science Centres and Museums (Ecsite), is an not-for-profit organisation initiated in 1989.
In 1991, it was formed under Belgian jurisdiction to facilitate communication and cooperation among Science Centres and Museums in Europe.[1]
Ecsite is linking science engagement professionals of over 300 organisations from 50 countries. Its member institutions connect through projects and activities and facilitates the exchange of ideas and best practice on current science issues.
