Estimados:
Este es un mensaje de interes para todos.
Finalmente, los organizadores de este simposio distribuyeron la info
oficialmente.

Es evidente que este tema es de nuestra incumbencia y de interes para la IAU
en el marco del año de la Astronomia.

saludos

Hello,

Could you please include the following announcement in the group's next
email? Many thanks.
Best regards,

David




We are pleased to announce Symposium 260 of the International
Astronomical Union on

         The rôle of Astronomy in Society and Culture

to be held on January 19-23, 2009, at the UNESCO Headquarters
in Paris (France).

For the first time since the founding of the IAU in 1919, a Symposium
is devoted to the exploration of the many relationships that Astronomy
has established with the different cultures across our planet.

The 4.5 days of scientific sessions will be evenly divided into three
main programs, dealing with cultural aspects, astronomy in society, and
educational issues. They should help to bridge the gap not only within
the astronomical community at large (astronomers, amateurs, planetaria,
teachers) but also, and more importantly, with our societies. The programs
consist of invited reviews, contributed talks and posters. The conference
talks will be published by Cambridge University Press in the IAU Symposia
Series.

An art exhibition featuring works from artists inspired by astronomical
phenomena is also organised within the activities of the Symposium, with
a forum for discussions on these topics with the artists present.

The conference is now open for registration. For submitting contributions,
and further details on the conference, please visit the website :

We look forward to seeing you in Paris next January !

                     David Valls-Gabaud, on behalf of the SOC
