Scientific paper

It is generally difficult to interest people to sciences, especially physics. However, astronomy has a great power of fascination, and can thus be used to attract people into the scientific world. Here in Liège, we are trying to develop several different aspects of astro-education: they will be detailed in this paper. For example, we organize interactive activities for primary schools, and also help high school students to consider a scientific career. Our undergraduate students also benefit from our experience: for example, they have the possibility to observe at a real observatory, they can train at ESA facilities,... The general public is also invited to discover astronomy and, through it, physics, thanks to several specific events. Finally, media, the links between the public and the researchers, are not forgotten: our astro-news service was specifically created for this purpose.
