Evaluation & Legacy

2008 was spent preparing IYA2009 and all its activities, and 2009 will naturally be the focal point for events. In 2010 the IYA2009 organisers will scrutinise performance at all levels and assess public perception of the IYA2009 experience with the intention of answering the following questions: Were the objectives of IYA2009 met? Has public appreciation of science changed as result of IYA2009? What were the unexpected outcomes of IYA2009?
