| Details | This talk will reflect on the first decade of the International Astronomical Union's Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD). Established in April 2011, the OAD is a partnership between the IAU and the South African National Research Foundation, mandated to use astronomy to stimulate development globally. Over the past decade the OAD has established 11 regional offices and language centres and funded over 200 projects targeting audiences in over 100 countries, which includes 43 COVID-related projects. We will discuss the OAD's activities, challenges and impact over the years, as well as plans for the future. |
