This book is the sixth volume under the title Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy (OSA). The OSA series is intended to cover a large range of fields and themes. In practice, one could say that all aspects of astronomy-related life and environment are considered in the spirit of sharing specific expertise and lessons learned.
The chapters of this book are dealing with socio-dynamical aspects of the astronomy (and related space sciences) community: characteristics of organizations, strategies for development, legal issues, operational techniques, observing practicalities, educational policies, journal and magazine profiles, public outreach, publication studies, relationships with the media, research communication, evaluation and selection procedures, research indicators, national specificities, contemporary history, and so on.
The experts contributing to this volume have done their best to write in a way understandable to readers not necessarily hyperspecialized in astronomy while providing specific detailed information and sometimes enlightening `lessons learned' sections. The book concludes with an updated bibliography of publications related to socio-astronomy and to the interactions of the astronomy community with the society at large.
This volume will be most usefully read by researchers, teachers, editors, publishers, librarians, sociologists of science, research planners and strategists, project managers, public-relations officers, plus those in charge of astronomy-related organizations, as well as by students aiming at a career in astronomy or related space science.

University degrees:
Master of mathematics - Liège State University (1969) (title of the thesis: Apsidal motion and internal structure of the stars) Master of education - Liège State University (1969) Post-graduate certificates - Liège State University: General astrophysics (1970), Celestial mechanics (1970), Modern techniques of documentation (1971), Modern techniques of astrophysical observations (1972), Structure and dynamics of the Galaxy (1973)
Post-graduate certificate - Paris VI University: Probability and statistics (1970)
Ph.D. ("Doctorat d'Etat") - Liège State University (1975) - title of the theses: Application of the maximum-likelihood principle to the calibration of stellar luminosity criteria (main thesis). The multivariate statistical analysis provides indications on the meaning of photometric indices.
Certification in management - Management Center Europe (1981)
Certification in marketing, communication techniques and advertising - Strasbourg III University (1985)
D.Sc. ("Agrégation de l'Enseignement Supérieur Universitaire") - Liège State University (1985) - title of the theses: A few new contributions to astronomical statitics (main thesis). The photometric behavior of the irregular variable V348 Sgr shows that the characteristic times of variation proposed previously were incorrect. The statistical parallaxes obtained by application of the maximum-likelihood principle allow a consistent and independent recalibration of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. The quasi-periodic variations detected in the very slow nova RR Tel since its 1944 outburst explicit the role of the Mira component of the system. The rotation of the Galaxy (academic lecture).
Habilitation to direct researches - Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg I) University (1986).
