The Astronomy Forum is an independent, authoritative group drawn from the community at professorial level to discuss issues and, as appropriate, present its views to STFC, BIS and other bodies. Forum members try to represent the views of all astronomers in their respective universities. The Forum complements the activities of the RAS and SCAP.

The inaugural meeting of the Astronomy Forum was held at the RAS on 21 January 2009.

Any comments should be sent to the RAS Executive Secretary.
