Due to the major global Microsoft outage, which has affected access to email and online systems for many people, the Royal Astronomical Society is extending the application deadline for RAS Research Fellowships from 15 November 2026 to 23:59 UTC on 18 November 2026.
The RAS appreciates that the disruption may have prevented prospective applicants from completing or sending their application and wants to make sure no one is disadvantaged as a result.
If you have already submitted, you do not need to do anything further. If you are still experiencing difficulties, please email awards@ras.ac.uk
