Promoting Science in Nova Scotia with the Nova Scotian Institute of Science

Background:

The Nova Scotian Institute of Science (NSIS) is a non-profit organization that has been promoting science in Nova Scotia since 1862. The organization’s mission is to promote scientific research, education and knowledge in the province by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among scientists, educators, and the general public.

Challenge:

The NSIS needed to establish a strong online presence to reach and connect with scientists, educators, and the general public in Nova Scotia. They also needed to develop a website that would serve as a resource for information about their organization and its activities.

Solution:

The NSIS partnered with Omor Bros for web development to create a comprehensive and user-friendly website, located at nsis1862.ca. The website was designed to be easily navigable and accessible for users of all abilities. It includes information about the organization’s history, mission, events, resources, and opportunities for engagement.

The agency also worked with the NSIS to provide consulting and maintenance work to keep the website up-to-date and ensure it continues to serve the needs of their community.

Results:

The new website has helped the NSIS establish a strong online presence and reach a wider audience. The website has been well-received by the community and has become a valuable resource for information about the organization and its activities.

The NSIS has also seen an increase in engagement and membership since the launch of the new website. In addition, the organization has been able to connect and collaborate with a wider range of scientists, educators, and members of the general public in Nova Scotia. This has led to new opportunities and partnerships for the NSIS and its members.

Conclusion:
