Press Releases

IAU press releases describe scientific, technical and organisational developments and achievements for the IAU. Here are the requirements listed.

The IAU also publishes Announcements.

Announcements are shorter than press releases (typically below 200 words) and highlight stories and events which are of interest to the community. This includes announcing dates and locations of upcoming events.
