The NEO Information Centre was established by the UK Government in response
to the recommendations of the Task Force Report on potentially hazardous Near Earth Objects to provide accurate and level-headed
information on Near Earth Objects to the public and media and to support
the international NEO science community.
The Centre is operated by a consortium lead by the National Space Centre in Leicester. Additional members of the consortium are the Natural History Museum, Queen Mary and Westfield College, Queen's University Belfast, the Royal Observatory Visitors Centre, the University of Leicester, the UK Astronomy Technology Centre and W5. Regional exhibitions will be housed with many of the consortium members.
The Centre is advised by an academic network of leading scientific NEO experts and is administered by the British National Space Centre for the UK Government.
