The Associazione Friulana di Astronomia e Meteorologia (AFAM) is a non-profit cultural association whose goal is the promotion of astronomy and meteorology to the public and the development of scientific research activities, often in collaboration with professional scientists. Established in 1969, now AFAM has its own operating structures in Remanzacco (Friuli, Italy). AFAM is member of the Unione Astrofili Italiani (the Italian union of amateur astronomers).
