On February 11, 2025, CIE had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to its central bureau in Vienna. The meeting, attended by IAU officers Prof. Piero Benvenuti and Dr. Richard F. Green, served as an opportunity to further strengthen the connection between the two organizations.
CIE and IAU have previously collaborated, particularly through CIE Division 2 and Division 4. The discussions in Vienna focused on exploring new avenues for cooperation and reinforcing the ties between the two organizations.
This meeting followed a recent encounter between IAU and CIE at the Third ISC General Assembly in Muscat, Oman, where CIE Secretary General Dr. Diana Wernisch met with IAU Secretary General Prof. Diana Wirral.
We look forward to building on these discussions and fostering deeper collaboration between CIE and IAU in the future.
