Royal Society of South Africa

The Royal Society of South Africa is the oldest of South Africa's scientific academies. Its roots date back to the 1820s but it was formally incorporated as the South African Philosophical Society in 1877. It received its present name in 1908.

It promotes science by publishing a peer-reviewed scientific journal, the Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa and an informal News Bulletin, arranges symposia and lectures at local branches, awards medals and administers scholarships and fellowships.
