Astronomy is an involving, inspirational activity with the capacity to
attract people, especially the young, towards science, engineering and
information technology. The Armagh Observatory seeks to strengthen this
interest by promoting wider access to scientific knowledge amongst all
sections of the community, and disseminating the results of its scientific
research through a high-profile programme of education and public
outreach. The principal elements of this policy include:
- attracting visitors to Armagh, primarily to the Armagh Astropark,
the Observatory Grounds and Phenology Garden, and the new Human Orrery;
- maintaining and extending the Observatory's unique meteorological
record, the longest in the UK and Ireland from a single site;
- maintaining and preserving for future generations the Observatory's
cultural heritage, for example its listed buildings, library and
archives, historic scientific instruments, telescopes and telescope domes,
and the landscaped grounds and Astropark;
- providing lectures and presentations to interested individuals and
groups that together include people of all ages and from all backgrounds;
- partnership with institutions and organizations having similar
public education objectives to those of the Armagh Observatory, for
example the Astronomical Science Group of Ireland, the Armagh Natural
History and Philosophical Society, amateur astronomy organizations,
and university research groups;
- answering technical questions about astronomy from members of the
public and disseminating astronomical results to the press, radio and
television;
- maintaining and developing a web-site to facilitate access to the
latest research findings on astronomy and related sciences;
The Armagh Observatory is fully committed to implement the
New TSN Policy. The Observatory encourages a culture in which resources
in appropriate areas of its activities and interactions with the public
are targeted so far as possible on individuals, groups, agencies, and
geographical areas that have greatest social need. In this way, the
Observatory contributes directly to Northern Ireland's New TSN Policy and
Programme for Government, especially in enhancing access to science, and
providing wider choice in education and lifelong learning opportunities
for all.
