Fellowship
The RSE Fellowship comprises around 1,800 leading experts in the sciences, arts, business, professions and the third and public sectors, with links to Scotland. This range of expertise within the Fellowship places us in a unique position to provide an informed, interdisciplinary response to issues facing Scotland and internationally.
RSE Fellows are the most distinguished in their fields. The RSE has three categories of Fellows, each with a post nominal:
- Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE)
- International Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (IntFRSE)
- Honorary Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (HonFRSE)
We engage and connect nationally and internationally to share knowledge and tackle the most pressing challenges of the modern world.
