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.



Published, peer-reviewed conference proceedings will feature invited and
contributed papers, as well as poster summaries.
