Dear all,

The application forms and definition of membership categories are as follows:


Individual Member:

Professional scientists whose research is directly relevant to some branch of astronomy are eligible to apply as Individual Members. Individual Members are, normally, admitted by the Executive Committee<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Z2kFC5QPXJi5WA7oIz2eSw?domain=iau.org> on the proposal of a National Member.

  *   Please fill out the Individual Membership application form at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/oAr4C6XQ4LfjGXvEs6uiiB?domain=iau.org .


Junior Member:

Junior scientists who have completed their PhD studies between 2014 and 2019 and who are in the initial phase of the career of a professional researcher in some branch of astronomy or a related field may be admitted to the Union by the Executive Committee<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Z2kFC5QPXJi5WA7oIz2eSw?domain=iau.org/> as Junior Members, for a period not exceeding 6 years.

  *   Please fill out the Junior Membership application form at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Jh-0C71R2NT4WLKvIBTZ8c?domain=iau.org.
