The Astronomical Society of India initiated the ASI Symposium Series last year. The 3rd call for proposals was invited during the 1st week of June this year for the organisation of ASI symposium to be held between the period 1st November 2025 to 15th April 2026.
We are pleased to announce that one of the proposals which is selected for this period is ASI Symposium 006 - Communicating Astronomy in India 2026 (ASI SCAI26). The Symposium aims to bring together communicators, outreach practitioners, and public engagement professionals in the field of astronomy in the country.
The Symposium will be held during 22-24 January 2026 at IUCAA, Pune and is anchored by the Public Outreach and Education Committee (POEC) of the ASI.
ASI SCAI-26 is supported by the Astronomical Society of India, IUCAA, IIA, NCRA-TIFR, and ARIES. This Symposium is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Jayant V. Narlikar, who was a pioneering advocate for astronomy and science communication in India.
