In

for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The symposium aims to be a roadmap to
action, highlighting the role diversity and inclusion play in producing better
science, contribute for competitiveness and innovation and to focus on specific
steps leading to change on the field. This symposium is aimed at all astronomy
professionals that wish to bring inclusiveness to their research and diversity
to their teams, practices, work environments and institutions.
This first IAU symposium will lay
grounds for future IAU Resolutions on Equity, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
policies in Astronomy. The IAU Resolutions will outline a set of viewpoints and
subsequent proposed actions, in alignment with the new IAU Strategic Plan
2020-2030 and will ultimately seek official endorsement by the Executive
Committee and the IAU General Assembly in Busan, in 2021. A first presentation
of the resolutions will be done during the meeting in Japan. With the
same inclusive and open approach that permeates all dialogues of the symposium,
the organization wishes to invite everyone to join the project and contribute
in their own unique way.
Registration

contributions on the following topics:
- Learning
from Best Practices in Disabilities and Establishing a Framework to
Address Equity and Equality in Astronomy Organizations, Facilities and
Academic Institutions;
- Identify and
Address Barriers to Access: fostering a climate of inclusivity;
