Announcement: New IAU Committees for 2025–2029
The IAU Committees are an essential part of our organisation, supporting the daily operations that keep the IAU moving forward — from Communications to Technical matters and Records management. These committees are powered by dedicated volunteer members who generously contribute their knowledge and expertise, helping us promote and grow this global sport.
Following our communication on October 24th, we are delighted to announce the establishment and approval of the new IAU Committees for the 2025–2029 term, as confirmed by the IAU Executive Council.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who served on the Committees during the 2021–2025 term. Your commitment and contributions have been invaluable to the IAU’s success.
