The RSV engages communities with scientific knowledge through aligned partnerships, special events, festivals, conferences and education programs. We provide services in event management, meeting venues, grants and awards administration, broadcasting and video production, social media campaign management, recruitment of scientific panels and convening community engagement and deliberation processes where scientific work contributes to social, environmental and economic impacts and benefits.

We broker within our extensive network to bring scientific expertise to bear on specific issues and projects; please contact us to discuss your needs and ideas.

We are registered as a Certified Social Trader working for the benefit of Victorian communities, which makes our services eligible under the Victorian Government’s Social Procurement Framework, as well as the social procurement guidelines of the governments of New South Wales and Queensland. Our certification also assures industries of our authenticity in building social procurement into services and supply chains.
