The IAU’s Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO) is headed by the International Outreach Coordinator, Sze-leung Cheung. The office is hosted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, based in its headquarters in Mitaka, Tokyo.

Clearly, there is synergy between OAO and the IAU’s Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD), based in Cape Town, South Africa. Indeed, the International Outreach Coordinator is also a standing member of the OAD’s Task Force 3, Astronomy for the Public.
