As SETI (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—what is known as post-detection. SETI post-detection research is vital for engaging with the cultural, ethical, and philosophical dimensions of potential extraterrestrial contact. It prepares us for the societal, legal, ecological, and scientific challenges that may arise, while developing emergent strategies and imaginative frameworks to meet the unknown.

Community Wiki

This wiki is a community resource for exploring, learning about, and sharing post-detection research.

We welcome contributions including reading materials, creative examples of SETI post-detection, research groups, and resources for all levels of interest.

The Shared Bibliography connects evidence-based research across disciplines, including anthropology, governance, ethics, technology, futures studies, disaster studies, Indigenous research, creative practice, and art-science. The intention is to celebrate historical efforts and open up plural approaches to post-detection in the present. Whilst the collective bibliography aims to grow a rich section on SETI Post-Detection for Oman-Reagan et al's SETI Primer, this wiki is a living archive, and intended to widen access, encouraging a varied forum that supports all levels of post-detection research, and shares relevant material and groups with networks around the world, including the Global South, as well as the UK.

The wiki is intended as a collaborative resource, not a fixed or definitive resource. It is open, growing, and always in process, reflecting the collaborative spirit of a wiki itself.

Missing something? You're warmly invited to add it: please share your references with the community and help this wiki grow.

You are invited to add either simple references in the individual bibliography pages, or add references with BibTeX by following the 2nd step in the contribution guide.
