Center for Science and Communication (formerly know as Science Park) is an outreach activity established by Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) in mid-September 2014.

  
The initiative was taken by Professor Dilip G. Kanhere, after he joined SPPU as Distinguished Professor.
   
At present CSEC is located close to University Nursery, Back side of IUCAA. The center houses more than 500 kits, interactive exhibits, demonstration experiments and innovative do-it-yourself laboratories in all the branches of science. The center is conceived so that the young minds can explore ideas, put them in action and learn principles of science by experimentation.
  
The present focus is on school children from standard 5-9th. In addition we also conduct a variety of workshops for various age groups including adults. Other activities include science popularization programs & nature trails.
 
CSEC has also developed an Eco-Education Center around a beautiful pond near main building of SPPU. The center conducts various activities to introduce students to diversity of flora and fauna in and around pond.
 
The CSEC is envisaged to be an educational resource center to be utilized by a number of schools, colleges, science educators, NGOs etc. We welcome the public participation in all our activities as volunteers / contributors / well-wishers, in fact all those who are Passionate about science.
