Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to submit abstracts for the E-SWAN session titled "Communicating Science Through Aurora: Engaging the Public in Space Weather", at the upcoming European Space Weather Week 2025 (ESWW 2025).
This session (CD9) aims to explore how we can use the aurora to bridge the gap between complex scientific topics and public understanding. We are seeking contributions from scientists, educators, and outreach professionals who are using the aurora as a tool for public engagement. Topics may include innovative educational initiatives, public outreach programs, citizen science projects, and the role of artistic interpretations in science communication.
The aurora's beauty and cultural significance provide a powerful vehicle for increasing awareness of space weather's relevance to modern society. Through presentations and discussions, we hope to highlight effective methods, challenges, and new opportunities for leveraging this natural wonder to inspire and educate diverse audiences.
If you have an initiative or project that could contribute to this session, we invite you to submit your abstract by 15 May 2025 here.
We look forward to hearing about your experiences and sharing ideas to strengthen our collective efforts in space weather communication.
Best regards,
The conveners
Lenka ZYCHOVA; Christine VERBEKE; Laure LEFEVRE
