The ASA Education and Public Outreach Committee (EPOC) has the following mission statement:

To advance the level of public awareness of the excitement of astronomy and of the international importance of Australian astronomy, while promoting the teaching of astronomy to students and the public.

To that end, the committee is always looking for new initiatives. Membership of the committee includes non-ASA members co-opted in the capacity of advisers, to ensure the broadest possible consultation with the educational and amateur communities. Any input is most welcome!

Reports on Astronomy Education activities around Australia from committee members can be found in the ASA Newsletter from 1998 onwards.

Enquiries should be directed to the Chair of the Education and Public Outreach Committee:
