The research and study group Museus e Centros de Ciências Acessíveis (Accessible Science Museums and Centres - MCCAC) was created in 2016 focusing on the development of theoretical and empirical reference for the area of accessibility and social inclusion in science museums and centres and science communication activities. To this aim, we carry out studies, researches, publications, meetings and technical visits. The MCCAC encompasses researchers, professionals and students from different areas of knowledge (biology, museology, physics, science communication, science education, special education), linked to different institutions of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and interested in the debate of issues of accessibility and social inclusion in science museums and centres and science communication activities.
