The European Association for Astronomy Education or EAAE is a non-profit European organization for the promotion of science education in general, and of astronomy in particular.
The Organization was founded on November 25, 1995, in Athens, as a result of the Declaration of the EU/ESO workshop on Teaching of Astronomy in Europe's Secondary Schools that was held at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Headquarters in Garching in November 1994.
The Professional association|Association gathers the General Assembly for strategic decisions, and an Executive Council as the operational management. There are also National Representatives with a role on promoting the EAAE and its activities in their countries.
International activities are promoted through the activity of three Working Groups.
The EAAE has had a long term collaboration with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in many projects, including "Astronomy On-Line" or "Catch a Star" and has also collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) and with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the organization of Physics on Stage and Science on Stage. Like most major organizations, since 2009 the EAAE has grown in social networks and has now mirrors of the "EAAE News" on Facebook,Twitter and Portal to the Universe. The EAAE has also collaborations with The European Planetarium Network (EuroPlaNet) and with the Euro-Asian Association of Teachers of Astronomy (EAATA).
