South Africa will be hosting the G20 science ministers<\/b><\/a> in September and we have the opportunity to share your voice at this event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Astronomy is not only a critical scientific endeavour but an important tool to drive positive change in our world. Through this opportunity, we would like to create a lasting impression upon the ministerial delegates of the immense popularity of astronomy, the diversity of our communities, the strength of our collaborations, and the impact of astronomy on people and the planet.<\/p>\n

If you would like your voice to be heard, please send us a brief (30-60 second) video containing a message for these science ministers and their delegations. This could be a message about what astronomy means to you and your community, a suggestion about what you would like the G20 ministers to do for astronomy in their countries\/globally, or even a story or anecdote about the power of astronomy for development. The content of the video is completely up to you but should generally align with an overarching theme of<\/span> “Astronomy for a Better World<\/a>“.<\/b> We will publish all videos online and share it with the G20 delegations, but a few selected clips will be edited into a short compilation that will be shown at the G20 Science Ministers event.<\/span><\/p>\n
