What is Project Diversity
In 2019, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) will host this IAU Symposium “Astronomy for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion — a roadmap to action within the framework of IAU centennial anniversary”. Building momentum towards the symposium, we will host a set of talks (in English or Japanese) at NAOJ related to diversity and inclusion. We invite a speaker about once a month and set up a talk at lunch time.
