IAU Beijing 2012

Die Internationale Astronomische Union, abgekürzt IAU, ist eine 1919 gegründete weltweite Vereinigung von Astronomen mit Sitz in Paris. Ihr Ziel ist die Förderung der Astronomie durch internationale Zusammenarbeit.

Die nicht-staatliche Organisation richtet seit 1922 in abwechselnden Ländern alle drei Jahre eine Generalversammlung aus.

Das nächste Treffen findet in Peking am 20.-31. August 2012 statt.
