Campus Party Europe highlights astronomy developments
15 April 2010
800 young innovators from across Europe are currently in Madrid attending the latest Campus Party Europe. Run this year by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, it is considered the biggest event for technology, creativity and digital culture online in the world.
Astronomy is featuring prominently in the programme, and a Global Astronomy Month (GAM) remote observing event will be taking place this evening (15 April). GAM guru Oana Sandu and everyone’s favourite IYA2009 writer Lee Pullen are there, promoting astronomy to anyone who will listen. Their adventures are being documented via a LiveBlog and Twitter feed.
