Universe Awareness Showcases at The Largest Astronomy Conference
3 August 2015

The XXIX General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) kicked off today in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America. More than 3,500 astronomers from at least 75 countries gather together from 3-15 August to discuss and evaluate their most recent developments in astronomy, to make decisions on fundamental issues facing astronomy and to foster international cooperation. The participants will have the opportunity to engage in thousands of scientific presentations, policy discussions and several public events. The General Assembly (GA) is held every three years in a different country.

The Universe Awareness team is playing an active role throughout the two-week conference, sharing their work and achievements of the global network throughout the last years in a number of presentations, meetings and posters. UNAWE will also run a survey in collaboration with the London School of Economics and ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute, on scientists’ practices of outreach and public communication. Iris Nijman from UNAWE is writer/editor for the the official IAU GA's newspaper Kai‘aleleiaka
