The IAU Working Group on Communicating Astronomy with the Public
Abstract:
The IAU Working Group originated as one of the outcomes of the 'Communicating Astronomy with the Public' meeting held in Washington D.C. in 2003. Its remit makes it an IAU-wide group, placing it in Division XII and distinct from Education (Commission 46). Since its inception a webpage has been developed, the Washington Charter adopted by a number of societies and agencies and this conference organised. In spite of this early success, there is still a great deal more work to be done and volunteers are actively encouraged to sign up.
