Communicating Astronomy with the Public 2010 Programme announced

15 February 2010

The "Communicating Astronomy with the Public 2010" (CAP2010) conference will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 15 to 19 March, 2010. Following the previous conferences in this series, it aims to address the modern challenges in astronomy communication through a global perspective. Major themes of CAP2010 will be the outcome and legacy of IYA2009 as well as techniques for how to make public astronomical knowledge global and accessible to everyone across national, language, political, social and cultural borders and to those with impairment limitations.

Now the Programme has been released, outlining the talks which will occur each day. These include summaries of various IYA2009 Cornerstones, national reports, and how to maintain the momentum raised during 2009 far into the future.
