Should our successor Committee wish to consider UK astronomy, it could: • Consider whether funding timeframes for astronomy strategies, programmes and infrastructure need to be lengthened and if astronomy needs a single voice rather than a split between the Science and Technology Facilities Council and the UK Space Agency; • Examine whether the UK is fully exploiting its international partnerships so that UK researchers and companies can participate and lead on collaborative programmes and projects; • Assess whether the UK astronomical instrumentation organisations and companies, especially SMEs, have the support they need to contribute to international infrastructure and missions, and to repurpose their technology for other purposes, especially where this might be exported; • Evaluate whether the UK has sufficient laboratory and data facilities to ensure that it can be a significant locus for national and international astronomy analysis and research; 78 Legacy – Parliament 2019–24 • Consider whether current arrangements for post-doctoral astronomy research are sufficient to ensure the sustainability of professional astronomy in the UK; • Examine further reports of bullying and harassment in astronomy and the diversity of those employed or participating as amateurs and how this can be addressed; and • Consider whether astronomy outreach, whether delivered by amateur or professional astronomers, as part of funded programmes or by organisations, such as Science Discovery Centres, is adequate and effective.
