The Astronomical Society of Iran (ASI) is a non-beneficiary institute established for the development of astronomy including improvements in educational quality and research and boosting the national collaboration among scientific and research institutes in the country. 

The society represents Iran professional astronomers around the world and within the IAU. This body of professional astronomers are gathered twice per year to discuss their most recent research activities. Since 1995, the institute for advanced studies in basic sciences (IASBS) has been hosting one of these events. The second meeting is organise by various institutions.
