Join us August 21 and take a journey across four dynamic themes — Questioning, Investigating, Adapting, and Connecting. Engage with leading speakers as they delve into the big questions — What groundbreaking discoveries await us? How will advancements in astronomy revolutionize our understanding? What strategies do we need to thrive in this new reality? How do we honor cultural astronomy with the power of shared narratives?
The ASP2025 Symposium invites scientists, educators, and communicators to explore the evolving relationship between humanity and the universe and to envision a future where our celestial journey becomes a collective adventure.
Where will this journey lead us?
