The communication between the member states at the official and scientific levels and ESO, takes place through ESO's governing bodies , and not through ESON, which deals only with outreach matters.
The ESON members are science communicators who know the national media and stake-holders, and regularly interact with them. They have a strong interest in promoting ESO, and provide regular inputs and ideas for how to best reach the target groups in their area.
Below is the list of ESON members. If your country is not represented, and if you or your organisation would be interested in acting as ESO's local outreach contact, contact us at information eso. Mariya works as an astronomer at the ESO Headquarters in Garching, which means that she spends half of her time supporting the observatory and the other half on scientific research.
Her functional work includes acting as a science liaison for ePOD, coordinating the astronomical image production team, and coordinating ESON. Mariya holds a doctorate in astronomy from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet after pursuing 3 years of research at the Headquarters of ESO in Germany. In her work, she observes and uses the motions and chemical properties of stars in galaxies as fossil records to unravel the build-up and evolution of galaxies.
