Dear Members of the Professional and Amateur Astronomy Communities,
The International Astronomical Union’s Professional-Amateur Astronomer Working Group (Pro-Am Working Group) is working to connect professional and amateur astronomers, with the aim of promoting research collaborations, delivering workshops, and promoting and facilitating the integration of professional astronomers within amateur societies. Please visit our website for more information (https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/professional-amateur/).
The Working Group is now recruiting new members and we encourage you to join the group by completing a brief form at https://forms.gle/2LJdVkN9dqh119bP7. Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 3 October at 09:00 UTC, so please sign up prior to that date if possible and we will email you the meeting link. If you know others who may be interested, please share this announcement with them as well. At the end of this email we have included the four Sub-working Groups that members can join. This will also give you an idea of the sorts of activities the Working Group
engages in on a regular basis.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to seeing you at the next Pro-Am working group meeting on October 3. PLEASE be sure to complete the brief signup form now at https://forms.gle/2LJdVkN9dqh119bP7.
