The Royal Society of Edinburgh
About Us:
The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE), Scotland’s National Academy was established in 1783 for “the advancement of learning and useful knowledge”.
Our contemporary mission remains the same – the deployment of knowledge for public good.
As Scotland’s National Academy, we use the combined knowledge of our 1,800-strong Fellowship to provide independent expert advice to policymakers and inspire the next generation of innovative thinkers.
This knowledge contributes to the social and economic wellbeing of Scotland, its people and the nation’s wider contribution to the global community.

By forging effective partnerships with national academies, learned societies and international networks overseas, the RSE is helping to:
Forge multilateral partnerships that provide researchers in Scotland with the opportunity to build lasting international connections.
Facilitate two-way international exchange program, enabling top Scottish-based researchers to collaborate with their counterparts anywhere in the world
Promote the exchange of early-stage researchers, giving them the opportunity to experience research activities in other countries

Stimulate collaboration between centres of excellence through joint international activity
