'''SETI-Hub Wiki'''
'''SETI Post-Detection Wiki'''


In SETI (the search for extraterrestrial iIntelligence), "post-detection" refers to the events that take place after the successful detection of extraterrestrial intelligence. Post-detection research prepares for the societal, legal, ethical, ecological and scientific challenges that may arise, developing emergent strategies and imaginative frameworks to meet the unknown. As SETI and technosignature detection rapidly advance in the 2020s, post-detection research is vital to engage the cultural, ethical, and philosophical questions of potential extraterrestrial discovery in a time of societal conflict and ecological uncertainty.

<p>As <b>SETI</b> (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence) and technosignature detection rapidly advance in the 2020s, fresh efforts are underway to explore what events and processes may unfold during and after a confirmed detection. <b>SETI post-detection research</b> is vital for engaging with the societal, ethical, and philosophical dimensions of a discovery of extraterrestrial life. Transdisciplinary, evidence-based research approaches can take up the task of preparing for the speculative societal, legal, ecological, and scientific challenges that may arise, while developing protocol, emergent strategies and imaginative frameworks to meet the unknown.</p>

'''SETI post-detection community wiki'''
 
This wiki is a collectively edited resource for research communities working on, learning about, and sharing evidence-based post-detection research. We welcome contributions on SETI post-detection, links to research groups and networks, and reading materials across disciplines, including the natural and social sciences, governance and law, philosophy and ethics, futures studies, anthropology and communication, disaster studies, technology and art-science. '''
 
The purpose of the resource is to celebrate foundational post-detection efforts, along with new approaches to uncertain questions and outer space studies in the present day, connecting dots and aiding more joined up responsive thinking on post-detection.
 
The [[Bibliography|shared bibliography]] is a collective reading list that aims to grow a rich section on SETI Post-Detection for Oman-Reagan et al's [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vd5llZrXOjKZSKZi9-_LWRERvKO4fQh59zPiRcXkJ3s/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.iijse61diydu SETI Primer]. It is is also a living archive intended to widen access. The wiki is open and in process, reflecting the collaborative spirit of a wiki itself. Though the SETI Post-Detection Hub is based in Scotland, this wiki is a planetary resource, committed to including research, networks and perspectives from regions often underrepresented in the Academy, such as the Global South.
 
As the wiki is emerging, and not meant to be fixed or definitive, there are gaps and many potentials. '''Missing something?''' You are warmly invited to add to it: please share your references with the community. You can '''help this wiki grow''' by adding references directly in individual [[Bibliography|bibliography]] pages, or adding new pages or adding references with their own BibTeX by following Step 2 in the [[HowToAddReferences|contribution guide]].


This wiki is a community resource for exploring, learning about, and sharing post-detection research. It includes reading materials, creative examples, research groups, and resources for all levels of interest.
== Getting started ==
'''[[Contribute|Contribute]]'''


The Shared Bibliography connects research across disciplines—governance, ethics, technology, futures studies, disaster studies, Indigenous research, creative practice, and art-science—to celebrate longstanding research and open up to plural approaches to post-detection.
* How to contribute to this wiki on SETI post-detection


The collaborative resource is not intending to be definitive, but aims to support varieties of post-detection research, and widen access and encourage a rich and varied forum that supports all levels of post-detection research.
'''[[Contribute/Translate|Translate]]'''


If something is missing, we warmly invite you to contribute and share it with the community.
* The work begins in English, with the aim of translating into other languages as translators become available, to support a multilingual and international resource.
