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.

As Director of Engineering and Technology at Rolls-Royce, Colin Smith leads the UK aerospace company’s entire engineering activities and a team of 16,000 professional engineers. After joining as an undergraduate apprentice in 1974, Colin has spent
Martin Barlow is noted for a variety of contributions to mathematical probability. His 1988 work with Ed Perkins on rigorous analysis of diffusions on fractals initiated a huge and continuing literature, creating an exciting interface between
Colin Clark is a mathematical biologist who has contributed to the conceptual foundations of biological resource management and (more recently) behavioural ecology. His influential book, Mathematical Bioeconomics, wove together economics and
Jim Smith is renowned for his work on cell-to-cell signalling in the early development of the amphibian embryo. His discovery of a mesoderm-inducing factor secreted by a cell line and establishing its identity as activin transformed the study of
John Duncan has focused on the psychological abilities in which humans excel — such as selective attention and intelligent decision-making — and developed explanatory theories based on underlying brain activity. His ideas extend from patterns of
Ian Glynn conducted informative work on the movement of ions through cell membranes and on the relation of active transport to phosphorus metabolism. He obtained quantitative information about the linkage of potassium uptake and sodium outflow in
Alan Baddeley is a psychologist renowned for his influential work on human memory. In 1974, he developed a model of working memory to provide a more accurate description of short-term memory. The model had a profound effect on our understanding of
Mark Richmond is a molecular biologist whose research has centred on the genetics of bacterial infection. Mark identified the role of small units of DNA known as plasmids, which can replicate independently of chromosomes, in developing bacterial
Sean Munro studies the secretory pathways that cells use to transport their internal cargo of proteins and nutrients, packaged as tiny vesicles, between specific organelles or on to other cells. In particular, he focuses on how the Golgi apparatus
Edwin Perkins is a mathematician renowned for his pioneering work in probability theory. He has solved problems concerning the behaviour of Brownian motion by applying nonstandard analysis to probability theory. His work has answered previously
