Every year, this conference gathers scientists and teachers from high and middle schools from six continents. The goal is to summarize the current status of the international educational project Global Hands-On Universe, and to promote interaction between research and teaching through pratical "Hands-On" applications. This concerns the teaching of astrophysics, the developpment of educational telescopes networks and their interface with research, together with the public outreach activities developped for various space missions. Particular emphasis will be on shared projects and explorations that can reach the many levels of student interest and skills.

The program will be spread over 6 days, with educational-motivated and public outreach presentations.
