"Rainbow in the Sky" - A Talk of Equality created by ITCA and NARIT
Sirindhorn AstroPark
Chaing Mai, Thailand
We had the pleasure of hosting an incredible program at NARIT Headquarters - Sirindhorn AstroPark called "Rainbow in the Sky."
The session was focused on building and empowering the LGBTQIA+ community in astronomy
and at NARIT. We invited a prominent LGBTQIA+ speaker to share their experience and
insights with us.
The speaker talked about their personal journey as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in
the field of astronomy, as well as ways we can all work to create a more inclusive and
supportive environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals in the scientific community. It was a truly
inspiring and informative session, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to learn
from such a knowledgeable and passionate speaker.
We believe that diversity and inclusivity are essential to creating a healthy and thriving
community, and we are committed to doing our part to support and uplift all members of our
community, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. We hope to continue hosting programs
like "Rainbow in the Sky'' in the future, and we encourage everyone to join us in working
towards a more equitable and inclusive world.
In addition to discussing personal experiences and ways to create a more inclusive
environment, the speaker at "Rainbow in the Sky" also talked about the importance of
creating awareness and empowering research and education among LGBTQIA+ astronomers.
Speaker showcasing numbers of LGBTQIA+ and Transwomen contributions in Astronomy.
The speaker shared various initiatives and organisations that work towards creating a more
inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ individuals in STEM fields, such as Out in STEM and
STEM. She also highlighted the need for increased representation of LGBTQIA+ individuals
in scientific research and education, as well as the importance of acknowledging and
addressing the unique challenges and barriers faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals in these fields.
The program also provided a platform for attendees to share their own experiences and
perspectives on the topic, which led to some engaging and thought-provoking discussions.
Overall, "Rainbow in the Sky'' was an important step towards creating awareness and
fostering a more supportive and inclusive community for LGBTQIA+ astronomers, and we
hope to continue building on this momentum in the future.
This event has paved the path for future collaboration between NARIT and the IAU on
LGBTQIA+ and Equity and Inclusion initiatives. We are committed to creating an inclusive and
supportive environment for all members of our community and looking forward to continuing
our efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity in Astronomy. Recently we had a meeting to
draft a plan to organise a symposium for LGBTQIA+ in Astronomy together.

Archaeoastronomy is the study of how people in the past used astronomical knowledge and techniques to understand their environment, predict celestial events, and construct buildings and monuments aligned with the stars. The theme of this year's meeting reflects the growing importance of this field in modern times, as scientists and historians work to uncover the mysteries of our ancestors' relationship with the sky.
The conference program features keynote speeches, scientific presentations, as well as online presentations. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the latest research in archaeoastronomy, as well as share their own findings with the wider community.
The conference is chaired by Prof. Boonrucksar Soonthornthum, NARIT Executive Advisor and also the Chairman of SEAAN. He is also a keynote speaker among others such as Prof. Paul Ho from East Asian Observatory, Prof. Kazuhiro Sekiguchi from National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and Prof. Hakim Malasan from Istitut Teknologi Bandung.

Siem Reap, known for its rich cultural heritage, is the perfect location for this meeting, as the city is home to some of the world's most famous archaeological sites, including the Angkor Wat temple complex. The conference organisers hope that attendees will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the area and gain a deeper appreciation of the region's rich history and culture.
This meeting is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in the intersection of astronomy, history, and archaeology to connect with experts in the field and to learn about the latest research and discoveries.
The Southeast Asia Astronomy Network was established in 2008 with the aim of promoting collaboration and exchange between astronomers and related professionals in the region. The annual meeting provides a platform for researchers to share their work, exchange ideas, and build new relationships in this exciting and rapidly growing field.
