Partnerships


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).
