2016 Chile-U.S. Astronomy Education Outreach Summit

智利拥有许多世界上最重要和最具生产力的天文设施。智利和美国都有丰富的天文教育推广历史。2016年智利-美国合作伙伴关系开展的协调努力。天文学教育推广首脑会议将对智利人口的很大一部分产生积极影响。这一努力所产生的资源（例如西班牙语天文学教育材料）可能会被转移回美国，在那里，不断增长的西班牙裔人口可以从中受益。通过鼓励对天文学在智利发挥的许多重要作用的广泛认识，这些活动应有助于保护美国在智利天文学基础设施的投资，并加强该国的天文学教育。2016年智利-美国峰会。天文学教育外展峰会是由美国在智利的主要天文台及其管理组织牵头的一项努力。目标是改善智利的天文学教育和公共推广（EPO）工作，以及智利和美国机构之间的EPO合作。该提案建立在第一届智利-美国天文学教育推广峰会的成功和经验教训的基础上。拟于2016年3月举行的峰会将汇集美国在智利所有天文设施的主要利益相关者和智利主要利益相关者团体。它将侧重于更多的合作机会和实施一项行动计划，以解决EPO关键的天文学需求。

The nation of Chile hosts many of the world's most important and productive astronomical facilities. Both Chile and the U.S. have a rich history of astronomy education outreach. The coordinated efforts undertaken by the 2016 Chile-U.S. Astronomy Education Outreach Summit will positively impact a large fraction of the Chilean population. Resources that result from this effort (e.g. Spanish-language astronomy education materials) can likely be transferred back to the U.S., where benefits can be realized in a growing Hispanic population. By encouraging a widespread appreciation of the many important roles that astronomy plays in Chile, these activities should help protect the U.S. investments in astronomy infrastructure in Chile, as well as enhance astronomy education in this country.The 2016 Chile-U.S. Astronomy Education Outreach Summit is an effort lead by the major U.S. observatories in Chile and their management organizations. The goal is to improve astronomy education and public outreach (EPO) efforts in Chile, as well as EPO collaborations between institutions in Chile and the U.S. This proposal builds on the success and lessons learned from the first Chile-US Astronomy Education Outreach summit. The proposed March 2016 summit will bring together key stakeholders from all U.S. astronomy facilities in Chile and key Chilean stakeholder groups. It will focus on additional partnership opportunities and on the implementation of an action plan to address critical astronomy EPO needs.
