Global Hands-On Universe Conference 2020 – August 22 – 28

Have you imagined being part of a huge network of Astronomers, Scientists and Educators who bring Science Education to a whole new level? This is your chance to join, learn and make a difference!

Global Hands-On-Universe is a conference that gathers Astronomers, Educators and Scientists from several fields in the exchange of knowledge and ideas for hands-on science education. Highlights of these practices are the use of real-time remote telescopes, real science experiments in class and the development of fundamental scientific skills in teachers and students. The mission is to promote interaction between different countries and engage teachers and students in a global science education cooperation where inclusion and equality are key.

This year’s edition will take place online. You can choose to participate for free and attend any part of the programme or you can submit an abstract and contribute with your knowledge and expertise. Submit your abstract before the 31st of July.
