Astronomy in Focus, Volume 1, Focus Meeting 20 XXIXth IAU General Assembly, August 2015 c International Astronomical Union 2016 Piero Benvenuti, ed. doi:10.1017/S1743921316003562 List of Posters for Focus Meeting 20: Astronomy for Development

The following table contains a list of all posters and first authors that were registered to a participant during the the IAU General Assembly under Focus Meeting 20: Astronomy for Development. Due to the limited amount of time allocated for talks at the Focus Meeting, several Oral proposals had to be converted to Posters. We hope this table will be useful to illustrate the diversity of contributions to the Focus Meeting
