EPEC Outreach Working Group

EPEC Outreach Working Group

The EPEC Outreach Working Group is dedicated to all outreach activities carried out by early career researchers. Outreach plays a very important role in the scientific community. By spreading scientific news to the public, we can both inspire them and also engage different audiences with planetary sciences. We strongly believe that science is a collaborative effort and we would like to improve the connection between science and society!

Our ultimate goal is to build a community around Europe where EPEC members can discuss on effective practices and exchange ideas about outreach. In order to achieve this, we aim to organize a variety of activities that can be organized (by EPEC researchers)for different groups of the public. Different audiences require different communication approaches and thus, we will share with you multiple methods corresponding to each audience (public, university students, schools etc.).

Recent activities

Some of our recent actions include examples of outreach activities conducted by EPEC members in different European countries. You can read more in the following link: http://www.europlanet-society.org/outreach-activities-by-epec-members/
