CAP Training Programme

Born out of a partnership between the IAU and the Kavli Foundation, the CAP Training Programme is a growing opportunity for professional and amateur astronomers to develop their skills in astronomy communication.

IAU-Kavli Public Engagement Training Programme The resources from this programme were co-created by the IAU community and a steering committee composed of researchers and practitioners in the field of astronomy outreach. The materials focus on the importance of trust- and relationship-building in science communication, under the guiding principle that good relationships are essential to effective outreach.
