13 January 2015 -- Latest Press Release
<http://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau1501/>
NameExoWorlds Contest Opens-- Propose your favourite exoplanetary system now
<http://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau1501/>
*Message to the community from the IAU President and General Secretary*
Dear Colleague,
This is the traditional moment of the season's wishes for a new year (at
least in Western culture...), and we wish you all a productive year in
astronomy and happiness in your personal life.
The new year, 2015, is definitely special for the IAU.
First and foremost, like every three years, this is the year of the General
Assembly, which is expected to be the largest ever. It features an exciting
scientific program and the introduction of new meeting formats (Focus
Meetings and Division Meetings) in one of the world's capital sites for
astronomy, Hawaii, and its wonderful city of Honolulu.
Until then, and like a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly, the IAU will
progressively prepare for major structural changes at the General Assembly,
with an entirely new set of Commissions being established, and soon later,
Working Groups.
In terms of interactions of the IAU with the public, the General Assembly
will see the final stages of the NameExoWorlds contest for public naming of
exoplanets (see the recent Press Release
<http://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau1501/>), and a spectacular
initiative in the framework of the UNESCO's International Year of Light and
Light Technologies.
While all these activities will be concentrated at the General Assembly,
astronomical discoveries will continue throughout the year to fascinate us,
as astronomers and colleagues in other disciplines, but also the public at
large.
Best wishes to all,
Norio Kaifu & Thierry Montmerle
