The Congress of Regional Science Writers Groups (SciWriCongress) supports more than 16 local professional networks across the United States. Our mission is to foster a sense of community among regional science writers groups and create more consistent and local support for science writers, as they endeavor to serve the public good.

This website serves three purposes: 1) a collaboratively-curated resource to help Regional Groups leaders share best practices and ideas for cultivating our respective local networks; 2) an encyclopedic guide for anyone interested in creating a new Regional Group; and 3) a directory for scicomm professionals to get to know a Regional Group serving their geographic region, and ways they can volunteer and take leadership.
