The Royal Society of Edinburgh recognises, supports and mobilises expertise from across academia, business and public service for the benefit of Scotland and the wider world. Our Fellows from academia, business and public service are among the most distinguished in their fields.
We engage and connect nationally and internationally to share knowledge and tackle the most pressing challenges of the modern world. As Scotland’s National Academy, we provide independent expert advice to government and inspire the next generation of innovative thinkers.
In a joint event between the RSE and the Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE), Professor Sheila Rowan CBE gives a perspective on aspects of the Chief Scientific Adviser role and what use governments and societies can expect from it. The event included a question and answer session led by BBC’s Special Correspondent, Ken Macdonald.
