Within the framework of the "Amigos del IAC" Programme, scientific culture and dissemination activities are organised so that our members can increase their knowledge of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the work carried out here. These activities are aimed at covering all the fundamental aspects in which the institute is involved, mainly the dissemination of information on astrophysics and the promotion of the Canarian Observatories.
