Non-profit Organizations
The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world’s most distinguished scientists.
About us
The Royal Society is the world's oldest scientific academy in continuous existence, and has been at the forefront of enquiry and discovery since its foundation in 1660. The backbone of the Society is its Fellowship of the most eminent scientists of the day, elected by peer review for life and entitled to use FRS after their name. There are currently more than 60 Nobel Laureates amongst the Society's approximately 1400 Fellows and Foreign Members. Throughout its history, the Society has promoted excellence in science through its Fellowship and Foreign Membership, which has included Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin, Francis Crick, James Watson and Stephen Hawking. The Society is independent of government, as it has been throughout its existence, by virtue of its Royal Charters. In 1663, The Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge was granted its Arms and adopted the motto "Nullius in verba", an expression of its enduring commitment to empirical evidence as the basis of knowledge about the natural world. The Society's activities include influencing science and education policy, funding leading researchers, publishing journals that span all the sciences and the history of science, and the provision of science communication activities for a variety of public audiences.

We are very happy to announce that the winner of this year's Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize is 'A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?' by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith. Congratulations to Kelly and Zach! #SciBooks “A City on Mars blew me away with its incredibly ambitious cross-disciplinary perspective... [The Weinersmiths] walk a tightrope of maintaining not only scientific rigour and fairness, but also a lot of humour, leveraged by amusing and informative sketches", said chair of the 2024 judging panel Professor John Hutchinson FRS. https://lnkd.in/e6Gk2Zr5
