The Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) completes 10 years of existence in 2021!
The OAD was inaugurated back in April 2011 by the South African Minister of Science and Technology in the presence of partners, supporters, and contributors to our vision of ‘Astronomy for a better world’. Since then, our family has grown all around the world. Thanks to this global family and our small team, we can proudly declare that the OAD now has 11 Regional Offices, and has benefitted people in more than 100 countries through its 200 projects.
Although we cannot celebrate in person, we would love to mark this memorable occasion. Our first task is to collect brief reflections or quotes or memories about the OAD from the global Astro4dev family. You can send them in the form of audio or video via email to info(at)astro4dev.org.
