The European Association for Astronomy Education or EAAE [1] is a non-profit European organization for the promotion of science education in general, and of astronomy in particular. [2]
The Organization was founded on November 25, 1995, in Athens, as a result of the Declaration of the EU/ESO workshop on Teaching of Astronomy in Europe's Secondary Schools that was held at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Headquarters in Garching in November 1994. [3]
The Professional association|Association gathers the General Assembly for strategic decisions, and an Executive Council as the operational management. There are also National Representatives with a role on promoting the EAAE and its activities in their countries. [4] [5]
International activities are promoted through the activity of three Working Groups. [7]
The EAAE has had a long term collaboration with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in many projects, including "Astronomy On-Line" [12] or "Catch a Star" [13] and has also collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) and with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the organization of Physics on Stage and Science on Stage. [14] Like most major organizations, since 2009 the EAAE has grown in social networks and has now mirrors of the "EAAE News" [15] on Facebook, [16] Twitter [17] and Portal to the Universe. [18] The EAAE has also collaborations with The European Planetarium Network (EuroPlaNet) and with the Euro-Asian Association of Teachers of Astronomy (EAATA).
