Venue: National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), 2-21-2

Osawa, Mitaka, Tokyo

Format: Hybrid (in-person and online)

Registration: https://iaus409.raku-con.com/

This symposium will unite experts in astronomy and science

communication to share evidence-based ways to improve astronomers'

ability to discuss their work with peers, policymakers, funders, and

the public, and to identify gaps in science communication research for

future investigation.

We will feature five keynote talks and five keynote workshops

throughout the conference. Experts in the field will lead these

sessions, including Mark SubbaRao (data visualisation), Vanessa Moss

(emerging technologies), Genevieve Marshall (communicating with

funders), and Marta Entradas (trust in science and scientists).

Key topics include:

• Innovations in data visualisation techniques

• Leveraging emerging technologies in the post-COVID era

• Combating misinformation in the age of AI and LLMs

• Trust in science and scientists

• Professionalisation of astronomy communication

• Communicating astronomy with funders and policymakers

The most up-to-date programme is now published online.

Registration will be open through the first day of the conference. To
