Title: Linking Marine, Atmospheric and Astronomical Researchers to the General Public

Summary: The Marine, Atmospheric and Astronomical sciences readily lend themselves to promoting science and the role of researchers to the general public. In 2011 they had a very successful Researchers Night with over 10,000 attendees and publicity which reached at least half a million people both locally and nationally. Building upon this success they would like in 2012 to extend their activity to link with Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork and to participate in the 2012 City of Science Dublin. Given their success last year, they do not want to change the approach albeit learning from some of the problems encountered last year. This year the look of the event will be different and designed to encourage as much participation as possible.
