The [[Community Data Science Collective]] organizes a series of events called '''The Science of Community Dialogues''' which bring together online community leaders, organizers, and experts. The goal of the Dialogues is to build a network of practice and research focused on the exchange, discovery, and application of evidence-based strategies to support thriving communities. 

Each Dialogue in the series combines short presentations highlighting recent research on a central theme and what that research means for communities. This will be followed by moderated group discussions on shared areas of concern, interest, and practical experience connected to the presentations and theme. It is an opportunity to learn, share, and understand how communities work.

The Dialogues are not open public events, although we typically publish talks and other artifacts. For each Dialogue, we will invite a select group of leaders from open source communities, online communities, and research organizations to participate.

A [[Virtual Event Code of Conduct|code of conduct]] is shared with all participants before the event and sessions are held under [[:wikipedia:Chatham House Rules|Chatham House Rule]] to encourage candid conversations. Presentations are typically recorded; discussions are not.

These events have been supported, in part, by awards from the U.S. National Science Foundation and our home institutions. It will be held at no cost to attendees.
