The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) is the senior national body of distinguished Canadian scholars, artists, and scientists.

The primary objective of the RSC is to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences. The RSC consists of nearly 2000 Fellows who are selected by their peers for outstanding contributions to the natural and social sciences, the arts, and the humanities.

As Canada’s national academy, the RSC seeks to recognize academic excellence, advise governments and organizations, and promote Canadian culture.
