The International Decadal Survey of Amateur Astronomy and Astrophysics

12 May 2010

The International Decadal Survey of Amateur Astronomy and Astrophysics 2012 will survey areas of astronomy and astrophysics, recommending priorities for the most important professional-amateur scientific and technical collaborations of the decade 2012-2021.

The principal goals of the survey will be to carry out an assessment of professional-amateur collaborations in astronomy and astrophysics, both previously recognized and new, and to prepare a concise report, recommending specific projects and areas of scientifically useful pro-am collaborations and studies, addressed to professional and amateur astronomical organizations, agencies supporting the field, the governmental committees with jurisdiction over those agencies, the general scientific community, and the public at large.
