International Astronomical Union Information Bulletin
http://www.lsw.uni-heidelberg.de/iau.html
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) information bulletin provides
IAU members and non-members with information and reports regarding general
assemblies, meetings of the IAU executive committee, scientific and
educational activities in astronomy and related fields, recent IAU
publications, membership issues, etc.
The IAU was founded in 1919 to provide a forum where astronomers from all
over the world can develop astronomy in all its aspects through
international cooperation. Since that time the Union has devoted itself to
this purpose and its reputation is such that most of the international
cooperation in astronomy is conducted through the IAU. The union has
Adhering Member Organizations in 60 countries and about 7800 individual
members. The Union is very diverse in character and its scientific
activity is reflected in the work of its 11 divisions, 40 commissions, and
many working groups which refer to all phenomena in outer space. General
Assemblies are held every three years and more than 330 major scientific
meetings have been sponsored by the IAU. Many other meetings are
co-sponsored with other international, scientific Unions and Committees
within the structure of the International Council of Scientific Unions
(ICSU).
