Description:Report of a workshop held at the University of California Museum of Paleontology, Berkeley, California, May 11-13, 2005. The workshop sought to identify the proven models and best practices for effective outreach strategies that could be profitably shared with research scientists. Twenty-nine workshop participants focused on the need for cultural change that genuinely motivates and rewards research and education communities to work together. Workshop recommendations converged on the creation of a network as an important strategy to support effective EPO and engagement of the general public with the enterprise of science, the Geoscience Education and Public Outreach Network or GEPON.
