The Royal Society is a nonprofit scientific institution based in London, England, with a foundation dating back to 1660, making it the world's oldest continuously operating scientific academy. Its core structure rests on a Fellowship of eminent scientists elected for life, with Fellows and Foreign Members entitled to use the designation FRS, and the roster includes more than 60 Nobel Laureates among approximately 1,400 members. Under Royal Charters, the Society operates independently of government and upholds empirical evidence as the basis of knowledge, a stance embodied in its motto Nullius in verba. Its activities span influencing science and education policy, funding leading researchers, publishing journals across the sciences and the history of science, and delivering science communication to diverse public audiences. The organization is based in London and pursues ongoing initiatives that connect researchers with broader audiences. In March 2026, The Royal Society launched a Featured Notebook in NotebookLM dedicated to the science of Benjamin Franklin.
