Astronomical Society of Australia Education and Public Outreach Chapter Biennial Workshop

December 5-6, 2018
ICRAR-UWA

The Astronomical Society of Australia’s Education and Public Outreach Chapter (ASA EPOC) is tasked with being the focal point of interaction between Australian professional astronomers and the broader astronomy education and outreach community. Part of this mission is to organise a regular national astronomy EPO workshop. This meeting is the second ASA EPO Chapter workshop, the first having been held in 2016 at the University of Melbourne.
The goal of this 2 day workshop is to i) to facilitate the development of connections between professional astronomy and education and public outreach nationally, to ii) provide support, encouragement and professional development for astronomers at all career levels seeking to incorporate EPO activities into their professional career and iii) highlight the successes and lessons learned over the last two years while setting goals as a community for the future.
