Federation of Astronomical Societies
The Federation of Astronomical Societies (FAS) is an international union of astronomical societies formed in 1974. Its motto is "Supporting UK Astronomy", and there is also one member society from Spain. As of November 2021, it has 200 member societies.[1]
FAS publishes a newsletter 3 times a year, which is sent to its member societies, and holds an annual convention. FAS is run by a council of elected volunteers.
The Autumn 2021 Convention is the first national in-person astronomy event in the UK since 2019. It takes place at the National Space Centre in Leicester on Saturday 13 November. Details and a link to ticketing are at The Federation of Astronomical Societies Autumn Convention Due to limitations as a result of COVID-19, tickets must be booked in advance, and are restricted to those who can show proof of vaccination.
