- Description
This session provides a dynamic platform for authors to showcase space education and outreach initiatives through interactive, visually rich digital presentations aligned with any topic within the Space Education and Outreach Symposium. Interactive Presentations will be displayed on dedicated digital screens in a designated exhibition area and will be accessible to all Congress attendees throughout the Congress. In addition, authors will be assigned a dedicated 10-minute time slot to present their work in person and engage directly with attendees through discussion and questions. This format is particularly well suited to activities that benefit from visual storytelling, multimedia content, and audience interaction, including the use of presentations, images, audio, video, animations, embedded links, and other digital features. The session is open to initiatives targeting both specialist and general audiences and encourages creative approaches to communicating impact, outcomes, and lessons learned. An award for the Best Interactive Presentation (E Category) will be presented during a special ceremony. When submitting an abstract to this session, authors should ensure that their proposal clearly addresses the following points: • Describe the research, analysis, or needs assessment that informed the purpose of the activity, the selection of the target audience, and the overall design of the initiative. • Clearly state the goal(s) of the activity, the intended audience(s), and the measurable objectives defined to assess success. Indicate whether the activity is completed, ongoing, or in the planning phase. • Provide a concise but comprehensive description of the activity or programme, highlighting elements that make it unique, original, innovative, or scalable. • Explain how participants or audiences were reached or attracted, including promotion, dissemination channels, partnerships, or platforms used. • Outline the analysis that will be presented, including results and evaluation findings for completed activities, or a clear description of expected outcomes and evaluation methods for planned initiatives. • Assess outcomes against the stated measurable objectives and indicate whether and how the original goals were met. • Summarise top-level lessons learned, best practices, recommendations for future activities, and the practical applicability of the work, including insights transferable to other contexts.
