research, communication, education and development, through international
cooperation. Its Individual and Junior Members — structured in Divisions,
Commissions, and Working Groups — are professional astronomers from all over the
world, at the Ph.D. level and beyond, active in professional research and
education in astronomy. The IAU has 12720 Individual and Junior Members in 110
countries worldwide. Of those countries 87 are National Members. In addition,
the IAU collaborates with various scientific organizations all over the world.
