Our Mission

Our goal is to increase public awareness and understanding of impact hazards so that everyone, whatever their background knowledge, can make informed decisions on NEO issues. We aim to provide a platform by which NEO science is communicated to the public and media in an accurate and yet understandable way. Our services also providing a resource by which the media can find the information and experts they need.

Through an active programme of events and discussion we aim to enable the public and scientists to voice their opinions on NEO issues and ensure that these are heard by policy makers. At the same time we aim to clearly explain current policy and existing research programmes.
