Federation of Astronomical Societies

[1] FAS publishes a newsletter 6 times a year, which is sent to its member societies, and holds in-person conventions as well as events online.

The FAS on-line convention in April 2021 was addressed by Lord Martin_Rees, the UK Astronomer Royal.

Another speaker was George Tahu, the Lead Program executive for Mars_2020, speaking from Washington, D.C.

The Autumn 2021 Convention was the first national in-person astronomy event in the UK since 2019, due to COVID.

The theme was "Women In Astronomy" — the keynote speaker was Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell.
