Speaker
Description
The European Regional Office of Astronomy for Development (E-ROAD), part of the International Astronomical Union’s global OAD network, harnesses astronomy to drive societal progress and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based at Leiden University, E-ROAD focuses on quality education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), economic growth (SDG 8), and reducing inequalities (SDG 10) through collaborative initiatives across Europe.
This talk will highlight E-ROAD’s efforts in supporting capacity-building programs, strengthening scientific communities across Europe, and fostering collaborations that connect astronomers, educators, and policymakers. By showcasing ongoing projects and future opportunities, I will discuss how astronomy can be a powerful tool for sustainable development, expanding its impact beyond academia.
