Communication, Dissemination & Outreach Plan

Personal effort will contribute to enrich a well established tradition of outreach activities at the University carried out by the Universe Awareness group (http://www.unawe.org), and through the Leiden/ESA Astrophysics Program for summer Students, an opportunity for students to carry out a summer project in collaboration with scientists from the Observatory/ESA.The researcher will make the publications available on electronic preprint servers (e.g. arXiv) thus supporting the use of “open access” publications. Accessible to all researchers and also to general public (e.g.Science journalists, AstroPAH newsletter), publications give awareness of the latest results, and credit to the author in the field. There are plans to include in the Webpage written materials (presentations, lectures etc.), speech, videosuseful for press coverage.
