How to Join

ASTRO ACCEL is a network of institutions and organizations from across the globe who share a common interest in advancing research and/or effective practices in astronomy education (formal or informal), public engagement and outreach, communications, and culture. Throughout 2026, ASTRO ACCEL will grow this global network of networks to include additional organizations and institutions. If you are interested in accessing this valuable resource, please sign up today!

If you are not a member of, or affiliated with, a current ASTRO ACCEL member organization, we ask that you sign up as an individual in 2026 and we will work with your institution to secure their membership.

STAUTUS UPDATE: We anticipate opening our online community portal and announcing activities by mid-January 2026. Activities include a monthly webinar series, the 2026 ASTRO ACCEL Innovation Summit to take place in Lisbon, Portugal August 14-17, and other opportunities to support international collaboration. While we are not yet ready to accept registrations, we do ask that you take a moment TODAY to indicate your interest via the ASTRO ACCEL Interest Form. We will notify you as soon as registration opens!
