About the Royal Society

The Royal Society is the independent scientific academy of the UK. Its purpose is to recognise, promote, and support excellence in science and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity. The Society is committed to increasing diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM) by seeking out talent from all parts of our society, in order to build and develop a world in which studying and working in science is open to all. The origins of the Royal Society lie in a 1660 ‘invisible college’ of natural philosophers and physicians.
