The IAU Professional-Amateur Working Group (Pro-Am WG) has launched the IAU Pro-Am Research Collaboration (PARC), an initiative that promotes and facilitates professional-amateur research collaborations in astronomy. PARC aims to enhance professional astronomy research capacity through collaboration with amateur astronomers. We invite amateur astronomers from around the world to visit the PARC web portal, explore the “Active Projects”, and sign up to participate in those that are of interest.
In addition to these research opportunities, the first PARC workshop will take place in person in Mumbai, India, December 1-3, 2023. This is a great opportunity for amateurs to learn about new projects, tools and techniques and to meet other amateurs and professionals interested in research collaborations.
