If you are interested in hosting an ESO telescope model or exhibition panels, or distributing ESO print products at one of your events, please complete our exhibitions and events request form and send it to Ed Janssen.
Please give answers which are as accurate and complete as possible; this will help us to understand your event better. Requests are assessed in the order they come in, and in general we prioritise events that reach a large number of people or otherwise have a high impact.
We cannot guarantee availability of our material, as we have limited resources. However, our exhibition panels and other products are also freely available for you to download and print yourselves.
