NAM 2025 brings together astronomers and space scientists at all career stages. A large fraction of our community see communicating astronomy with the public as an important part of their work, from giving occasional talks and media interviews to running science festivals. (According to the 2023 RAS Demographics and Research Interests of the UK Astronomy and Geophysics Communities, staff members in universities and research establishments typically spend around 5% of their time on public engagement activities).
In this lunch we will bring together this diverse group for informal conversations on good practice in public engagement, with invited local speakers inspiring attendees with an outstanding exemplar of work with children and young people.
We encourage all delegates at NAM to come to our lunch, whether you are a novice or an experienced practitioner, to join this conversation on sharing our inspiring science.
This session will be organised by RAS staff and members of the RAS Education and Outreach Committee.
