Abstract: AAL is a not-for-profit organisation, whose members are Australian universities and institutions with a significant astronomical research capability. CSIRO Space & Astronomy is one of our member institutions and we are so pleased to be delivering our member update to you all in person once more this year. During our presentation, we will provide a quick introduction on who we are, where our funding money comes from and where it goes. We will discuss some of our key projects, the bid for full membership of ESO and AAL’s strategy moving forward over the next 12 to 24 months.
