The Robotic Telescopes, Student Research and Education: Past,
Present, Future conference will focus on the use of remotely-located,
relatively small, typically optical robotic telescopes to support,
promote and drive research undertaken by high school and undergraduate
students for scientific research as well as educational outcomes and
uses.
The conference will aim to tie diverse strands into a coherent story
of where we have been (the past), where we are now (the present), and
outline the pathways and challenges going forward (the future). In doing
so, we endeavor to provide a synthesis of the relatively disconnected
communities surrounding remote and robotic telescopes, scientific
research, and astronomy education to provide a global picture of the
field in its current state.
