Europlanet RI now has in place outreach representatives, or national nodes, in 13 participating countries. The nodes are assisting Europlanet’s NA3 Outreach and NA4 Dissemination Activities in building channels of communication between the public, the media, stakeholders and the planetary science community across Europe. This meeting will bring together the nodes for the first time to discuss current projects, future strategy and plans for recruiting nodes for the other countries participating in Europlanet RI.
