The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship made up of many of the world’s most eminent scientists, engineers, and technologists.
Discover events, scientific meetings and exhibitions held by the Royal Society, as well as access to videos of past events and information on our venue.
Discover new research from across the sciences in our international, high impact journals. Find out more about our values as a not-for-profit society publisher, our support for open science and our commitment to improving inclusion and diversity within science publishing.
Find out about our work in areas of current topical interest to the Royal Society.
The Royal Society provides a range of grant schemes to support the UK scientific community and foster collaboration between UK based and overseas scientists.
The Society’s medals, awards and prize lectures recognise excellence in science and technology. Our most prestigious award, the Copley Medal, was first awarded in 1731.
Explore the latest work from the Royal Society, from news stories and blog posts to policy statements and projects. You can also find resources for teachers and history of science researchers.

Paul Berg's fundamental studies of the biochemistry of nucleic acids put him at the forefront of genetic engineering and earned him the 1980 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He developed a pioneering laboratory technique for combining DNA from one source
After graduating from King’s College, Cambridge, in 1972, Clifford Cocks conducted research in number theory at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. He subsequently served as a mathematician for the UK government for more than 35 years
Ian Parker’s innovative and technically exquisite experiments have explored how calcium ions transmit signals within the cells of the nervous system. He has measured the timing, spatial distribution and volume of calcium release within a single
Jack Thorne is a mathematician who studies number theory and its interaction with representation theory and the theory of automorphic forms; in brief, the role played by symmetry in solving equations. His most important works include the proof of
Denis Noble discovered slowly activated potassium channel currents in the heart and undertook a quantitative analysis of their role in controlling repolarisation and pacemaker activity. He also discovered the ionic mechanisms by which adrenaline
Keith Gull is a biologist who has made particular contributions to our understanding of eukaryotic microorganisms, or protists — tiny organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other specialised functional machinery enclosed within membranes. His
Peter Crane is a botanist and former Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, where he expanded the organisation’s scientific, conservation and public engagement programmes. Peter’s research interests centre on linking the studies of
Dale Sanders is a plant biologist whose work focusses on plant nutrition. His discoveries have revealed the complex mechanisms that control ion transport across membranes and that are involved in intracellular ion homeostasis.
Ben Berks is a biochemist who studies how bacteria secrete proteins across their cell envelope.
Leslie Dutton is a pioneering biochemist who researches how oxidoreductase enzymes control the electron transfer process that underpins all biological functions. He was the first to reveal key details of this process in bacteriochlorophyll — a
