International Collaboration Strategies for the International Astronomical Union's 100th Anniversary Celebrations (IAU100)

摘要

In 2019, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The IAU's mission is to promote safeguard astronomy in all its aspects, including research, communication, education and development, through international cooperation. The organisation has over 13,500 members who are active in professional research, education and outreach in astronomy. To commemorate this centenary milestone, the IAU has organised a year-long celebration (IAU 100) to increase awareness of a century of astronomical discoveries and to support the use of astronomy as a tool for education, development and diplomacy under the central theme "Under One Sky".

This paper will highlight the large-scale events that were organised as part of IAU100 to discuss the successful means by which the IAU100 conducted meaningful and widespread outreach and collaboration throughout the centennial celebrations. This includes the 100 Hours of Astronomy global project, during which more than 1200 separate astronomy activities in 86 countries were conducted from 10-13 January 2019, and the IAU100's global celebration of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in July 2019. The Dark Skies for All project, which aims to raise aw areness of the preservation of quiet and dark skies in tandem with the UNESCO Day of Light, will also be discussed to illustratrate how the IAU100 engaged with other international events to conduct its activities. Other projects include the Name ExoWorlds initiative, that offered the opportunity to all nations to each name one exoplanet. and the d
