CONFERENCE - May 25 and 26, HOTEL GALA, Viña del Mar, Chile
We are pleased to announce the first SDSS/APOGEE Workshop on Outreach and Education, which will take place at the Hotel Gala (http://www.galahotel.cl/en/) in Calle Arlegui Nº 273, Viña del Mar, Chile, on May 25-26, 2016. The Workshop Objectives and other information are provided below.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
The focus of the workshop is astronomy education and public outreach, with a particular focus on sharing strategies and methods, creating cross-cultural and multi-lingual ventures, forming E/PO collaborations, and exploiting the science and international reach of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) — which will soon be operating from parallel sites in the U.S. and Chile — for fostering these activities. We wish to bring together astronomers, educators, and journalists to achieve the above objectives, and also formulate methods by which we can promote the public face of SDSS and APOGEE within Chile, across the Americas and beyond.
VENUE (see further down complete instructions for travelling)
The GALA Hotel in Viña del Mar is easily reachable from Santiago (both city and airport) by bus, via a 1 hour 45 min trip from Santiago. Private taxi transport can also be arranged for you.

Viña del Mar is Chile's largest and best-known beach resort town. It is 120km (74 miles) NW of Santiago. The city was founded in 1874 as a weekend retreat and garden residence for the wealthy elite from Valparaíso and Santiago. The city is divided into two sectors: downtown and the beachfront. The hotel Gala, while downtown, is still only a 10-minute walk from the beach.
Attendees are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Gala Hotel.
