[AstroNet] 2015 IAU OAD Call for Proposals is now live!

[Kevin Govender]

Dear colleagues

The 2015 Call for Proposals is now live at www.astro4dev.org/cfp.

Please do spread the word and we look forward to many of your proposals in
this new format of the call.

Some text you could use to pass on the message:
-----------
The IAU Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) has issued its 4th annual
call for proposals for astronomy-for-development projects. The IAU has
earmarked EURO 110 000 for OAD projects to be selected in 2015 and implemented
in 2016. This is an open call for project proposals, with individual
project grants ranging from about EURO 500 to about EURO 15,000.

The three focus areas of the call are:
1. Astronomy for Universities and Research
2. Astronomy for Children and Schools
3. Astronomy for the Public

This year a new format for the call is being used which will streamline the
applications process and allow for greater interaction with the OAD through
an optional "Expression of Interest" channel. The OAD looks forward to
engaging with potential proposers and helping develop and realise ideas
relating to using astronomy to stimulate global sustainable development.
