Our research into astrobiology education and engagement begins from a transdisciplinary, engaged and open ethos.
This distinctive approach aims to bring together the experiences and expertise of multiple stakeholders to conduct a programme of engaged research that integrates the scientific, governance, philosophical and educational research of AstrobiologyOU.
With our stakeholders, including researchers in engagement and education, communities and special interest groups, schools, teachers and students, and international educators, our aims are to innovate in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and to explore impact, accessibility and inclusiveness in astrobiology education.
