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.

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.

If something is missing, we warmly invite you to contribute and share it with the community.
