Description

This session will highlight activities, programmes and strategies for communicating with and engaging the general public in space activities. Topics should involve outreach outside the formal education system with demonstrated or projected reach in the many thousands or millions. Presentations in the session focus on measurable outcomes and demonstrate the strategic nature and thinking in the design of the work. Presenters will be expected to show objective assessment of results or thoroughly describe the design of their evaluation plans. When submitting abstracts for SEOC sessions, please: • Clearly identify the connection to the session’s described scope and to space. • Briefly describe what you will present, including results and evaluation of your work, if it has been completed, or a thorough description of the expected outcomes of the work. • Include information about what makes your work unique, original or innovative and worth sharing with the international space community. • State your work’s goal, the intended audience, the measurable objectives that were set, and if the work is in planning or has already occurred. • Provide context describing the research and/or analysis you conducted in choosing the purpose of the activity, the intended audience, and the design of the activity. • Include reference to quantitative or qualitative data gathered through evaluations, surveys or other means. • If any theories are developed, please include information about the practical applicability of the information. • Consider that your audience is international and focus on what others working in the field can learn from your work. Include lessons learned, recommendations or other takeaway messages. • Make sure that the abstract provides a coherent idea or narrative for someone unfamiliar with your work.
