XXVII GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AUGUST 03 - 14, 2009 - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
|
The General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union is a 10-day duration event
hold every three years. This event is a unique opportunity for astronomers working in all fields of astronomy to
come together. Besides the General Assembly per se with its administrative meetings, the scientific programme
usually comprises 2 series of 3 Symposia of 3.5 days duration each, scheduled during the first and second weeks,
respectively. During the 10-day period, a number of Joint Discussions are held, typically about 15-20 total,
with up to 5 running in parallel. Special Sessions on specialized and timely topics are also organized.
|
The registration for participating of the XXVII General Assembly of the International Astronomical
Union, to happen August 03-14, 2009, in Rio de janeiro, Brazil, is not open, yet. People interested in participating can
make a pre-registration, in order to be included in the mailing list for receiving
news and announcements, when available. We expect the effective registration process to start sometime in the second
semester of 2008, together with the possibility of Abstract Submission for the different meetings and events
happening simultaneously with the XXVII General Assembly.

The General Assembly is intended for IAU members, but non-members are allowed to participate,
after specific invitation of the International Astronomical Union. Instructions on how to obtain such an invitation
