RSE Announces 43 New Fellows
The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE), Scotland’s National Academy, has announced that 43 individuals deemed excellent in their field were elected as RSE Fellows in 2026. These new Fellows will use their knowledge for the public good.
Among the new cohort, 15 Fellows are from the University of Edinburgh and five from the University of St Andrews. Approximately one third of the new Fellows come from public health and related health science disciplines, reflecting the RSE’s commitment to supporting and mobilising its influence to improve the lives of all Scots and the wider global community.
Fellows are elected to the RSE in recognition of excellence in their disciplines, and an ongoing commitment to advancing knowledge for the benefit of society as a whole. This year’s cohort represents the best that Scotland’s institutions and business community has to offer, with particular breadth of talent in public health and medical research.
