Ecsite Space Group Digital Events June 2021
After the enriching experience of their Annual Meeting 2020, the Space Group of Ecsite will meet again this year but virtually - in a digital event over three days – on 18, 22 and 23 June.
Ecsite is the European network for science centres and museums, with members committed to inspiring people with science and technology, and has worked with ESA since 2012.
Ecsite’s Space Group, with more than 190 members and the support of ESA, aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and projects to better share European achievements in space with the general public.
The Space Group is led by three co-chairs: Christophe Chaffardon, Director of Education, Science and Culture at Cité de l’espace, Toulouse, France; Ana Noronha, Executive Director of Ciência Viva, Lisbon, Portugal; and Maria Menendez, Head of ESA Outreach Coordination Office, Paris, France.
During three digital sessions, participants will connect, interact and share their recent experiences and future projects once more, as follows:
18 June, 14:30-16:00
‘Virtual coffee and chat’, a drop-in session that will give the opportunity to participants to virtually meet, reconnect and welcome new members.
22 June, 14:00-16:00
‘ESA: latest achievements and coming milestones’, a session dedicated to the presentation of ESA’s latest achievements, its activity in 2021 and for the upcoming years. ESA will present materials and resources that can be used by museums and sciences centres in support to their activities.
23 June, 14:00-16:00
‘Share, inspire, connect’, a projects showcase session dedicated to participants who are willing to share their space-related projects with other participants and be inspired by each other. As for previous sessions, after the presentations, small groups will continue the discussions in virtual ‘break out’ rooms.
