“Space” rarely fails to capture the imagination and interest of the public, whatever their age, ability or interest in other science areas. PSSRI has considerable experience in communicating its research activities beyond the scientific community and many of our scientists are recognised as outstanding science communicators.
Our motivation for public engagement stems from our enthusiasm and excitement for space and planetary science and our wish to raise awareness and support for our, and the UK’s, involvement in global space and planetary science research programmes. We hope that by engaging readily with the non-science community we can inspire a future generation of scientists and engineers and make a significant contribution to the UK’s knowledge economy.
