The Europlanet outreach team met up at University College London on 11-12 November to kick off outreach activities for the project.

What’s in store…

We have a huge range of outreach activities, projects and resources planned over the next four years. Here are a few

Space Climate Detectives: build your own weather monitor to collect data and find out how Earth’s climate compares to Mars, through real data from the Mars Curiosity rover.

Animated videos: our partners, Science Office, will be producing a series of five animated films to bring you the latest planetary research in a fun and educational format.

Training workshops: Are you a researcher working in planetary science?  Would you like to improve your communication skills?  Europlanet will hold a series of training workshops for researchers to learn how to engage with a variety of audiences, including the media, educators and policy makers.  Sign up for intensive residential courses or short sessions at the European Planetary Science Congress.

Professional meetings: If you work in outreach and are interested in new ideas and sharing best practice, keep an eye out for Europlanet’s professional meetings.
