Descripción
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has created the Office of for
Astronomy Outreach (IAU-OAO). Its mission is to promote and coordinate
the activities of astronomy outreach worldwide. For this purpose, the
IAU-OAO has established a network of partners based on what was
established to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009).
The nodes of this new network (IAU National Outreach Contacts, IAU-NOC)
act as National Contact Points (NCPs) statewide and their mission is to
contribute to the implementation of the objectives of the IAU-OAO. The
commitment of the NOC is a three-year renewal charge. The replacement or
the renewal will occur during the celebration of the relevant General
Assembly of the IAU. In the case of Spain, the Comisión Nacional
de Astronomía (CNA) decided to appoint a Vice-NOC and NOC and the
relay will occur during the next IAU General Assembly to be held in
Honolulu in August 2015.
