2 Gaia Archive PreparaQon (GAP) Working Group AO Response 0.1 WP600: EducaQon and Outreach The CU9 WP600 will provide the face of the Gaia project and its products not only to the interested science community, but also to the interested seccons of the general public. It is a fact that general public feels a great interest in Astronomy and Space Sciences. In this context, the Gaia mission offers an unique opportunity to approach those disciplines to them. Outreach in Gaia is a parccular challenge since Gaia does not directly offer premy pictures like other space observatories WP610: Management (S. Jordan, E. Masana) WP620: General Resources (S. Els, M. Manteiga) WP630: Academic Outreach (A. Ulla, S. Els) WP640: General Public Outreach (S. Jordan, E. Masana) WP650: Outreach for the media (X. Luri, S. Jordan)

3 0.1.3 WP630: Academic Outreach CU9 WP630 is expected to provide the interested scien3fic and academic community with the needed tools and resources for a best possible exploita3on of Gaia data and products. The objecqves of this (sub)workpackage are: 1- To provide users with a friendly environment, in general terms, to access Gaia data, tools, resources and science capabili3es. 2- To make a best possible use of current technological facili3es (Internet, Web, social networks) to keep the interested academic community permanently up to date on new developments, improvements or facili3es. 3- To organize a very useful tutorial system (wrixen material plus videos), with step- by- step showcases, on scien3fic and academic exploita3on of data. 4- To provide a help desk, efficient and fast, to answer technical and scien3fic ques3ons on Gaia data and applica3ons. 5- To establish a feedback system for improvement of all the above. And how to reach these objec3ves?

4 GAP: Outreach and academics CU9: Catalogue Access > Data Processing and Analysis Consortium > CU9: Catalogue Access > GAP > GAP:Outreach and academics 630: Academic Outreach Ana Ulla, Sebastian Els Providing Web pages with well structured information on how to obtain information about the Gaia science capabilities and how to access to the Gaia data itself. Providing FAQs on Gaia (technique, usage of Gaia data, science applications). Providing a help desk which would answer questions on the technique and science applications of Gaia. => Deliverables: 1. A good and fast Help- Desk 2. An efficient search tool (trough all CU9 resources) 3. Web pages contents, useful and clear 4. FAQs sheets 5. Tutorials (detailed) 6. A distribu3on system of news and alerts 7. A feedback procedure Producing tutorials for the usage of the Gaia data covering the defined usecases for CU9. The latter includes feedback from the users in order to update the tutorials.

9 Deliverables: 1. A Help- Desk (to assist sciencst and academic users on technical quescons of Gaia data, products and tools.) 2. An efficient search tool (trough CU9 resources.) 3. Web pages contents (with informa3on about the access to Gaia data, reduc3on procedures and science exploita3on.) 4. FAQs (covering the main academic applica3ons on Gaia (techniques, usage of Gaia data, science applica3ons).) 5. Tutorials (including videos) (containing clearly detailed step- by- step cases.) 6. Distribu3on of news and alerts over the internet (mailing lists, social networks, etc.) to keeps users up to date on recent developments or improvements, related do Gaia data and science applica3ons. 7. A feedback procedure of interac3on with interested users, in order to keep up to date and improve all the above.
