Post-Detection Toolkit
Post-Detection Toolkit
The Post-Detection Toolkit grows out of the work of the SETI Post-Detection Hub at the University of St Andrews. It brings together both pre-detection scenarios and a growing archive of post-detection scenarios developed through a 15-month participatory futures process (2023–2024) that imagines alternative futures for the SETI ecosystem in 2050 and explores discovery and its aftermath.
The toolkit provides practical resources - scenarios, templates, checklists, and interactive methods - as well as guidance on how to use the resource.
As a living commons, the toolkit invites contributions from multiple contexts, encouraging imaginative breadth to conceive of many different futures of 2050 underpinned by different values and cultural priorities.
